St. Francis by CimabueThe Conventual Franciscan Friars of St. Anthony of Padua Province form a part of the Franciscan family founded by St. Francis of Assisi, who lived between 1182-1226. With the gospels as his guide, St. Francis lived his life based on the words of Jesus.

St. Francis saw his Friars in terms of a fraternity of brothers. Hence, the title "Friar" (brother) best suits the Franciscans. Seeing the Jesus of the Gospels as one who was poor and uncomplicated, St. Francis wanted his Friars to live in that same spirit.
