The Apostolic Episcopal Church (in union with the Catholicate of the West and the Abbey-Principality of San Luigi) has issued a Charter to the Order of Franciscans of the Eucharist.

The Order maintains a website at https://www.franciscanseucharist.org It has close fraternal connexions with the Order of Corporate Reunion and like that Order looks primarily to Rome for its example and praxis. The late Archbishop Peter Paul Brennan, OCR, was an Advisory Board and Council Member. Headquartered in California, where it is registered as a non-profit corporation, the Order has clergy and lay members in the USA as well as in Africa and Asia. The Primate and Presiding Archbishop is the Most Revd. Friar Michael Cuozzo OCR, OFE, while Bishop Thomas Gore OCR, OFE, of the AEC is a Board of Directors and Council Member.

The Charter recognizes the Order as a Religious Order of the Apostolic Episcopal Church (and the Catholicate of the West). The Apostolic Episcopal Church and the Catholicate of the West have a long history of association with Franciscan Orders, the oldest of these being the Order of Rievaulx, an order of Franciscan Tertiaries that is now merged within the AEC.
