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.

Saints 15
Blesseds 43
Venerables 22
Servants of God 112

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?
