Who are the Capuchins?

We are a Catholic religious order of priests and brothers committed to living the gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Inspired by the life and writings of St Francis of Assisi, we strive to authentically live a life of prayer, fraternity and ministry as brothers in simplicity, humility and joy.

We are an international fraternity with about 11 000 friars in over 100 countries.
