The Parish of the Durham Martyrs

St Francis Friary, Durham is based in the heart of Durham city with Capuchin Friars residing in Tenter House. Franciscans reformed as Capuchins in 1525 with the purpose of regaining the original Habit (Tunic) of St.Francis of Assisi and also for returning to a stricter observance of the rule established by Francis of Assisi in 1209. St Francis Friars regularly assist Fr. Colm within the parish saying Masses at St Godric's and St Joseph's. They also visit parish schools and attend parish events. 

​

Mass is held in the Friary for the public every Monday at 7:45am.
