[quote=Anonymous]This isn't really a thing, except under limited circumstances. You generally only see Franciscans or Jesuits running parish churches when they have a school that they are running in the diocese and the bishop asks that they staff a local church (kinda in repayment for being allowed to operate the school there). But generally the way services work in such a church will be indistinguishable from the other services in that diocese per how the bishop runs things, and not per how the order does things (so not "Franciscan style"). The exception would be chapels attached to monasteries/religious communities that are open to the public. But you wouldn't be able to become a member of a church under such circumstances; even if you go every Sunday you are just visiting the monastery chapel. So you aren't going to get married there, have your kid baptized there, etc., and you aren't really a member of a Christian community which is 90% of the whole church-going thing.

Whether you are talking about Jesuits or Franciscans, running parish churches really isn't their mission. [/quote]
