Ecumenical Franciscan Order- Australia

The Ecumenical Franciscan Order, was established in Sydney, Australia in 2003. The Order (known by its initials as the EFO), is a community of the United Ecumenical Catholic Church (the UECC).


Archbishop Ronald Langham of the UECC, is the EFO's Bishop Protector. Br Luke is the current Brother Shepherd.

The EFO has no First, Second or Third order distinctions. The world in which we live is in a constant state of change. We only have to look around us to see, that what was available and relevent yesteday, is probably not going to be so tomorrow. To survive in this shifting world requires us to be flexible. So we have structured the order to relflect this flexibility.

EFO members may:

be of either gender;

be single or partnered;

live in EFO community houses, or in their own homes;

have a short (up to 5 years) or long term (life) profession;

retain secular lives, jobs and relationships.

We do ask that where possible, members have jobs that are with not -for-profit organisations.

If you feel that you are called to religious life or would like to know more about our Order,
