Minims (Religious order)

The Minims are a mendicant order founded in 1435 by S. Francesco di Paola at Paola (Calabria). The first rule, confirmed by Alexander VI in 1493, was based on that of St. Francis of Assisi; the second, and more independent one, by the same pope in 1501. As the name indicates, they aimed to practice humility as their chief virtue, regarding themselves as the least (minimi) of all religious. Their apostolate is in parish work, preaching, and teaching.
