The Society of St Francis has diverse origins in a number of Franciscan groups which drew together during the 1930s
to found one Franciscan Society. SSF in its widest definition includes First Order Brothers, First Order Sisters
(CSF), Second Order Sisters (OSC) and a Third Order. The First Order shares a common life of prayer, fraternity
and a commitment to the poor.

SSF friars went from England to Papua New Guinea in the late 1950s and the first Australian house was established
in 1964. The first New Zealand house followed in 1970. In 1981, the Pacific Province was divided into two: Australia/New
Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
