Minim Nuns of St. Francis de Paola

[Cloisters]

Their life is a perpetual Lent. Founded in the 1400s, these priests and nuns are mainly in Europe. The nuns have recently made a foundation in the Philippines. The convents are listed on the “informations” page.

Here’s another site that discusses the three branches of Minims: Priests/Brothers as the First Order; Cloistered nuns as the Second Order; and the laity as the Third Order. Not sure if the email link works. Site hasn’t been updated since 1997.
