Capuchins of Mid-America honor St. Conrad of Parzham as our heavenly patron. Conrad
is just one of 58 Capuchin friars and nuns, from the 16th to the 20th
century, who have been honored by the Church as Saints and Blesseds.
This prompted the late Pope John Paul II to say, "They say you
Capuchins are poor, but you are actually very, very rich. You have
Saints." It is no surprise that he noticed this, since he personally
canonized 5 of our 15 saints and beatified 33 of the 43 blesseds.
The
latest saint to be canonized was St. Felix of Nicosia. He was among the
first five saints canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on 23 Oct. 2005.
In
the following alphabetical listing of 192 Capuchin Saints, Blesseds and
those being considered for beatification, the size and color of the
listing indicates the level at which the person is presently honored.

Extensive
coverage of all the beatified and canonized martyrs of the order can be
found in Italian at the Vatican web-site's "Martirologio dei
Frati Minori Cappuccini"

Capuchin Spirituality

Capuchins
have a long and varied history as well as a spirituality uniquely their
own, even among the Franciscan family. Did you know that the Capuchins
historically have had a very strong devotion to St. Joseph? Did you
know that, along with the Jesuits, the Capuchins factored largely in
Counter-Reformation? Learn
