Within the vast, international--and ecumenical-- Franciscan family, there are three major groups or "orders.”  Within the Roman Catholic community,  they are generally organized into the Friars Minor (First Order), the Poor Ladies or Poor Clares ( Second Order), and the Brothers & Sisters of Penance (Third Order Secular: OFS / Third Order Regular: TOR, OSF, etc.)
