Order of Friars Minor - Franciscan U.S. Organization In-house Cook (PT - Saturday and Sunday) Pulaski, WI
Organizational background and Mission We Franciscans owe our inspiration to Francesco di Bernardone, an affluent young merchant from the Italian town of Assisi, who in 1206 renounced his wealth and social status in favor of a life dedicated to God and the poor. His life and ministry inspired other men to join him and become the first Franciscan friars. Today, Francesco is known as St. Francis of Assisi, and the Order of Friars Minor comprises more than 100 provinces located around the world. The Gospel life of the friars has four central components: first, to be men of prayer; second, to live as lesser ones, "not making anything our own;" third, to create a brotherhood of mutual care among ourselves; and fourth, to "go about the world" entering people's everyday lives as heralds of God's reign and agents of Gospel peace.
