The Secular Franciscan Order, formerly called the Third Order of St Francis is an official order of the Catholic Church and was founded by St Francis of Assisi in the early 13th century. Members are lay men and women who live in the world and gather regularly in fraternity. Members profess to live the Gospel in the manner of St Francis of Assisi by following the Rule of Life.
