Failte go gréasán na bProinsiasach Eireannach OFM!
Welcome to St.Isidore’s College, Rome!
In the manner of St.Francis of Assisi, we greet each of you, brother and sister, with joy and love. May God give you peace.
Saint Isidore's College is part of the Irish Province of the Order of Friars Minor .
The College is on lease at present to the Minister General of the Order, and he has transferred to St.Isidore’s what was the entire community and activity of St.Bonaventure’s College, Grottaferrata (Roma). It is agreed to retain an Irish Franciscan presence, if possible. Significant structural work has been done to house the new community, and to house the library from Grottaferrata. The new community took up residence in early November 2008, and now numbers thirteen friars from seven different countries, viz. Italy, Ireland, Germany, United States, Poland, Switzerland and Madagascar. The main work of the community is franciscan research and publication, and the maintenance of two important research libraries.
