Friar Minor (OFM), Order of Friars Minor Capuchin (OFM Cap) and Order of
Friars Minor Conventual (OFM Conv)), the Poor Clares, and the Third Order.

The Franciscans (OFM):
What is unique about the Franciscans is the fact
we are not limited to a specific ministry. You may find friars serving God's
people in the classroom, in parishes, soup kitchens, or perhaps at an AIDS
hospice. What is special to the Franciscans is our focus on our brotherhood,
living lives that reflect simplicity, humble obedience and being celibate
for the sake of the Kingdom. |
