Looking into the need of the hour, that is to remain united as one Franciscan family. I present to you that was always asked for by many via email or personal telephone calls. A place where Ex-Franciscans can unite, be together and always be in touch with their fellow Franciscans. Initially, I tried to do it manually but that was a telling task for me. Then I introduced the OFA Forum, which certainly had its limitations. Kept on working on it and I have the solution today in hand. The OFA online registration panel has been created. Here you can enroll and feed in your data and can search for other Franciscans by their name-good eh?

Once you register, you may log in and search for your friends. Let me know if you have any issues or problems with it (though I have tried to keep it very simple). In case of any confusion, you may mail me on my personal email id- me.prosenjeet at gmail.com. The earlier OFA Forum hence stands closed from today. Those who have enrolled here earlier, my apologies you need to register again. I am managing this site single handedly and some flaws do come in.

To make a proper Alumni section with registration etc., requires about USD $ 200 (did I hear someone say "I am donating!"? lol). However, I have tried to do my best without it.

warm regards,
