The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement is a Roman Catholic religious order founded in 1898 in Graymoor, Garrison, New York. The organization pursues reconciliation and—through its concept of at-one-ment—strives to unite people with God and with one another, guiding its spiritual and pastoral work across three continents. Its mission blends social service with ecumenical and interreligious initiatives, serving communities in need by aiding the poor and homeless, individuals living with HIV, the frail and elderly in medical settings, incarcerated people, and those seeking recovery from addiction, while also pursuing healing and harmony within Christianity and among other faiths. In addition to pastoral ministries, the order engages in ecumenical activities through Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute, the publication Ecumenical Trends, and Centro Pro Unione in Rome, reflecting its broader aim of fostering unity across religious traditions. The group operates from Garrison, New York, and conducts its work through a range of ministries focused on spiritual renewal, reconciliation, and service to diverse communities around the world.
