F.U.N. (For Up to Now) Manual
The FUN Manual, from NAFRA (our National Regional Area for the SFO in the USA) is our Plan for Initial Formation for all individuals seeking Profession into the Secular Franciscan Order. It is expected that each fraternity in the St. Junipero Serra Region uses this initial formation material which can be covered in any sequencing they desire, as long as the Fundamental Topics are adequately presented so those in formation come to understand and comprehend the vocation they are seeking to undertake. IQ Fast Print - For Up to Now, the national formation manual (also known as The FUN Manual), can be purchased from IQ Fast Print at: http://iqfastprint.com/for-up-to-now.html. The package includes an unbound, three-hole punched book and a CD. It is available in English or Spanish. Please allow 5-6 days for delivery.
