Footnote No. 3


There are Secular Franciscan Hermits that are also part of this movement.  There is also provision in the new constitution of the Franciscan Third Order for private vows; which Order is now also referred to officially as The Secular Franciscan Order.  The previous Franciscan Third Order Constitution was approved by the Sacred Congregation For Religious.  This Congregation has been since renamed The Sacred Congregation for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.  The New Secular Franciscan Order Constitution was, like its predecessor, given a Decree of Approval by, the now renamed, Sacred Congregation for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.
