Art/Literary - Religion / Abbreviations | | Latin term or phrase: C.F.R. | Greetings,
"C.F.R." is defined as "Franciscan Friars of the Renewal". However, as the English would yield "F.F.R.", I am assuming that C.F.R. is Latin - what does it stand for, please?
Best wishes,
Simon |

The Community of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal constitutes a clerical religious institute of friars, both clerical and lay, whose members pronounce public vows and live a fraternal life in common (cf. Rule of St. Francis, Ch. 1 & 2; Lumen Gentium, 42). The Community of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal was begun in April 1987 by a group of Capuchin friars desiring to work more definitively for personal and communal renewal and the reform of the Church called for by the Holy Father and many spiritual leaders since Vatican II. By seeking a constant return to the sources of the whole Christian life and to the primitive inspiration of the Rule and Testament of St. Francis, this community is attempting to live sincerely and truthfully a life in conformity to the Gospel and to the ideals of the Seraphic Father as handed on by the Capuchin tradition (cf. Perfectae Caritatis; Capuchin Identity Study of 1996). Pursuant to the universal law of the Church, the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal is a clerical religious institute of diocesan right established in the Archdiocese of New York (cf. Cann. 588 § 2, 589). Accordingly, the community “enjoys a true autonomy of life,” and it “remains under the special care of the Archbishop of New York” (cf. Cann. 586, 594).
