The Order of the Franciscan Monks, officially known as the Order of Friars Minor, was founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1209. St. Francis established the order to live a life of poverty, humility, and service, emphasizing a deep connection with nature and the teachings of Jesus. The Franciscans quickly gained followers and became known for their commitment to preaching and caring for the poor.
