Capuchin Monks

Capuchin monks are a branch of the Franciscan order within the Catholic Church, founded in the 16th century. Known for their commitment to austerity, they wear simple brown robes with hoods and live a life dedicated to prayer, community service, and poverty. Their focus is on humility, helping others, and following the teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi. They often work in charitable activities, such as caring for the sick and poor, and emphasize a lifestyle that minimizes material needs to better serve their spiritual mission.
