Minim
Friars, a Roman Catholic religious order founded by St. Francesco de Paola in
15th century Italy. The Order of Minim Friars requires it priests to
take a fourth vow along with chastity, poverty and obedience. That fourth vow is Vita quadragesimalis, that is ‘A Lenten way of
life’ which means to abstain from all meat and dairy products. His feast day is
celebrated on April 2. He was never a priest!
