The Capuchin Franciscans, one of the most revered Roman Catholic Orders, is a community of religious men called friars, who live and work in the spirit of their founder St. Francis of Assisi. As priests and brothers, the friars are dedicated to care for the poor, the sick, the elderly, the homeless, the forgotten, and society's most marginalized.
We Capuchin Franciscans of the Province of Mid America profess to be a brotherhood dedicated to living the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the manner and spirit of St. Francis of Assisi as witnessed by his Life, Rule and Testament; in accordance with the Capuchin Reform and our Constitutions; and in a manner consonant with the times.
Vowed to the Gospel counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, we seek interior conversion so as to become men of simplicity, prayer and penance.
Our life is one of joyful service to one another in fraternity and to the Church in diverse ministries with an emphasis on those most in need, especially the oppressed and the materially poor.
Relatively speaking, the Capuchin Province of St. Conrad is young, established just 34 years ago. Its genesis is founded in the division of the Province of St. Augustine which stretched from the east coast to the Kansas-Colorado border. With a 1,500-mile reach, the sprawling province was simply not manageable. A decision was made to divide the geographic arena into two jurisdictions.
Membership of the Province is composed of 53 professed friars. The organization's leadership, elected from the membership, is composed of a Provincial Minister and four councilors who comprise the Provincial Council. The Provincial Minister oversees the fraternal and day-to-day administration of the province.
The Capuchin Province of Mid-America is part of the worldwide order of Capuchin Franciscans with a membership of over 10,000.
