The Order of Friars Minor Conventual (O.F.M. Conv.) is a male religious fraternity in the Catholic Church and a branch of the Franciscan Order. We are also known as Conventual Franciscans or Minorites. We have worldwide provinces that date to the 13th century. We dress in black or grey habits with white cords. Many friars engage in such ministries as teaching, parish ministry and service to the poor. As a member of this Religious Order, I organize pilgrimages to different places. I hope to see you on the next spiritual journey.
