Conventual Franciscans
The Order of Friars Minor Conventual (OFMConv), is a branch of the order of Catholic Friars founded by Saint Francis of Assisi in 1209.
As early as 1224, the members of this Franciscan Order is called by the people in English as Greyfriars from the color of their garments).〔http://www.le.ac.uk/richardiii/history/greyfriars.html〕 The Religious of this Order are also called Minoriten in the German speaking countries (Minorites in English) and Cordelier in France.〔http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04344a.htm〕
==Founder==
Saint Francis of Assisi, Italian San Francesco d’Assisi, baptized Giovanni, renamed Francesco, original name Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone (born 1181/82, Assisi, duchy of Spoleto ()—died October 3, 1226, Assisi; canonized July 16, 1228; feast day October 4), founder of the Franciscan orders of the Friars Minor (Ordo Fratrum Minorum), the women’s Order of St. Clare (the Poor Clares), and the lay Third Order. He was also a leader of the movement of evangelical poverty in the early 13th century. His evangelical zeal, consecration to poverty, charity, and personal charisma drew thousands of followers. Francis’s devotion to the human Jesus and his desire to follow Jesus’ example reflected and reinforced important developments in medieval spirituality. The Poverello (“Poor Little Man”) is one of the most venerated religious figures in Roman Catholic history, and he and Catherine of Siena are the patron saints of Italy. In 1979 Pope John Paul II recognized him as the patron saint of ecology.〔Brady, Ignatius Charles. "Saint Francis of Assisi." Encyclopædia Britannica Online〕
From the founding of his Order, it was the desire of Father Francis, that it would be a true fraternity; its members would come together as brothers of one family, joining in the life and work of the community according to one’s ability. Everyone had equal rights and responsibilities. St. Francis desired that his brothers be called Friars Minor, because "from their very name" they would "enter into the school of the humble Christ, in order to learn humility". They came together in a common fraternity, with the goal of achieving greater devotion, a more ordered life, a more solemn Divine Office, a greater formation of candidates, the study of theology, and other works at the service of the Church, and thus extend the reign of Christ to all the earth under the guidance of the Immaculate.〔http://www.ofmconv.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=160&Itemid=284&lang=en〕
