Franciscan Friars
The Franciscan Friars are members of the religious order founded by Saint Francis of Assisi in the early 13th century. They emphasize a life of poverty, humility, and service to others, following the teachings of Jesus Christ. The order is known for its commitment to caring for the poor and the environment, reflecting Saint Francis's love for nature.
The Franciscans are divided into several branches, including the Order of Friars Minor, the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, and the Order of Friars Minor Conventual. Each branch has its own specific rules and focuses, but all share the core values of the Franciscan tradition.
