OHANA O' KEANUNUE REGION
Welcome to Secular Franciscan Order of Hawaii and Guam
Our regional logo has significant symbols that represents both Hawaii and Guam.
The Tau Cross is our franciscan habit and serves as living reminder of our commitment and it is also the signature of Saint Francis of Assisi our seraphic father.
The Rainbow represents our regional name, "Ohana O'Keanuenue" which means the family of rainbows.
The Latte Stone represents the Guam fraternity of Saint Padre Pio.
The Bible is a reminder that we called to live the Gospel life as Secular Franciscans.
