Founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1209. Inspired by his ideals of fraternity and minority, we soon began to live in larger communities or "convents" from which the word "Conventual" derives. This was added to the name of our Order to characterize the friars of the community who dedicated themselves to apostolic work promoted centers of studies and did not participate in the reform movements within the Franciscan Order. Though the official name of the Order is Order of Friars Minor Coventuals O.F.M. Conv.It can also be referred to as Conventual Franciscan Friars. We are present in sixty countries throughout the world and are called by the spirit to serve the church and humanity in various forms of ministry by living our Franciscan Charism with its characteristics of Fraternity, Minority and Conventuality. We are the custodians of the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, where our father and founder is buried along with his first companions. Among the other early Franciscan churches in which we still minister today is the Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua, where the tomb of the saint is located. Our permanent presence in India began in 1980.

The Parish church at Pavaratty is dedicated to St.Joseph. The neighbouring churches which had been founded earlier are dedicated to St.Thomas (Palayur), St. Sebastian (Chittattukara), Lady of Mt.Carmel (North Pudukad) and Good Shepherd (Mullassery) respectively; and so the ancestors might have dedicated the church to a special patron, viz.St.Joseph. In Holy Bible, We read of St.Joseph as the just man (Matt 1.19) and as perfectly loyal to the Divine Will (Matt 2.13,20).
