Are there Third Order Franciscan hermits?

[jredden92]

I believe I’m being called to religious life as a hermit. I was drawn to this way of life and inspired by the example of St. Francis of Assisi. I was wondering if there was a place for hermits with the Franciscans. If there is which Order would it be? I’m trying to discern which order I should focus on trying to join. Thanks.

That is interesting thank you.Though it seems to be an interdenominational group and I was more looking for the official and traditional catholic path.

If you become a diocesan hermit, you can join a third order after your final vows.

OP, please talk to your priest. You have numerous threads about this, but you need some guidance in real life.
