The Apostolic Trustees of the Friars Minor or Franciscans are lay men and women who form the Corporate Board of Directors of the Franciscan Province of the Holy Spirit, and are effectively the owners of the friars’ goods and the financial advisors to the Provincial Minister and his Council. The Trustees financial decisions take into account the desires and values made known to them by the Provincial Minister and Council of the Franciscans. Their mandate, by law, is to assist the Province in realizing its mission by assuring that there will be financial and legal solvency.
