Full Version: Male Religious Orders

Does anyone know of any male religious orders that their main task is to help the poor. Or like a website that can help my out. All the order's I've looked at on the internet are usually the work they do is for themselves just to keep them going. But in my vocation I feel called to help the poor and needy in any country. I've never heard of any orders in the U.S. that is what they strictly do but then I haven't heard much about any orders in the U.S.

Thanks,
Dan

+ I have to second that! In fact, If I were a man, I'd want to be a FBP;) Here's an especially good page on the site to explain there apostolates for the poor:

Vincentian Fathers were the first to pop into my mind.

Don't the Franciscans of the Immaculate work with the poor?

Blessings,
