The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (Latin: Fratres Franciscani a Renovatione; Abbreviation: CFR)[2] is a Catholic clerical religious congregation of Pontifical Right for men founded in 1987. It follows the Capuchin Franciscan tradition.
Originally formed as a mendicant congregation in the Archdiocese of New York, it has been recognized under pontifical right since 2016. A parallel community known as the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal was established in 1988.[3]
