Note: The diagram has been corrected as of 12/17/06. The Poor Clares are the true "Second Order", all
other Franciscan sisters, brothers, and also Post-Vatican II new congregations are considered "Third
Order;" as is the Secular Franciscan Order. The TOR (Third Order Regular) as the name implies is also
a part of the Third Order of Saint Francis. This page will print best in Landscape Mode.
