WELCOME

Welcome to the temporary website of Christ of the Ozarks Anglican Friary.  We are Franciscan Friars of the Franciscan Missionaries of Divine Compassion, a monastic order within the Province of the Anglican Church in North America.  The Friary is located in Mountain Home, Arkansas.  Our primary purpose is to work as missionaries wherever we are called to further extend and build the Kingdom of God with the transforming love of Jesus Christ, whether through mission and parish work, Young Adult and youth ministries, thrift stores, publishing of books and other works, making of communion hosts and wafers, making of candles, etc.  In whatever way God calls us, we are to missionally further the Kingdom of God.  You may contact the Minister General, Fr. Gregory Mashburn, at fr.mashburn@gmail.com, or 850-797-6848.  Our sisters are located in Winona Lake, Indiana, and may be found at the link to the right.

We have secured two acres and will be transitioning to a permanent presence at the Friary in June 2010.  We would welcome any benefactors who may be able to assist us by partnering with us in ministry.  Further details may be found by clicking on the “Make A Donation” button to your right.  If you are able to be a benefactor in any way, please do not hesitate to contact Fr. Gregory Mashburn, OFM, at the email address or telephone number above.  Many blessings to you in Jesus Christ!
