Franciscan Basilica of Our Lady of Zapopan

The Basilica of Zapopan and the Convent of Our Lady of Expectation of Zapopan belong to a well-known Franciscan complex (in the center of Zapopan in the state of Jalisco, Mexico). It is the second most visited Marian enclosure in the state, followed only by the Basilica Cathedral of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos. The sanctuary belongs to the Franciscan province of Saints Francisco and Santiago. In the convent, friars of the family of the observers are formed, although they commonly visit the Capuchins, the Poor Clares sisters and the consecrated laity of the Secular Franciscan Order (OFS). Another religious order that also frequents them is that of the Dominicans. The sanctuary also houses the Franciscan Youth (YOUFRA) of St. Roque.
