Franciscan Sisters Of Dillingen
The Congregation of Franciscan Sisters of Dillingen began in Dillingen, Bavaria in 1241 when " Count Hartmann IV of Dillingen and his son, Hartmann V, Bishop of Augsburg (1248-1286), donated to the Community of Ladies in Dillingen a house near the parish church and with it one lot of land, a cabbage patch and a meadow." History The community is now the oldest group of Third Order Franciscan Sisters in continuous existence. The founders wanted the women to "serve God, their Creator, peacefully, devoutly, and zealously for the benefit of all the faithful, giving praise and honor to the Blessed Trinity." About 200 years later, in 1438, the building burned and all the founding documents were lost. For about 200 years, from the late 1500s until the late 1700s, the community was more secluded, living more of a contemplative life rather than being active out in the community. In 1774, however, Prince Bishop Clemens Wenceslaus had the Sisters to take over the elementary school for g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dillingen (district)
Dillingen is a ''Landkreis'' (district) in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Donau-Ries, Augsburg and Günzburg, and by the state of Baden-Württemberg (district of Heidenheim). History In ancient times the Danube river was a border between the Roman empire and the Germanic tribes north of the river. The Roman camp of Phoebiana (now Faimingen) was a bridgehead crossing the danube. There was an Apollo temple being one of the largest buildings north of the Alps in that time.

The counts of Dillingen ruled from the 10th to the 13th century, then (1258) the territory was turned over to the Prince Bishops of Augsburg, who gained several villages for their clerical state, hence subdividing the region into several patches, which were dissolved in the early 19th century. In 1804 Dillingen and its area became part of the state of Bavaria. The district was established in 197 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Third Order Of Saint Francis
The Third Order of Saint Francis is a third order in the Franciscan tradition of Christianity, founded by the medieval Catholic Church in Italy, Italian Catholic friar Francis of Assisi. The preaching of Francis and his disciples caused many married men and women to want to join the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor, First Order as friar or the Order of Saint Clare, Second Order as a nun. This being incompatible with their state of life, Francis found a middle way: in 1221 he gave them a rule animated by the Franciscan spirit. Those following this rule became members of the Franciscan Third Order, sometimes called tertiaries. The Third Order is divided into Third Order Regular of Saint Francis of Penance, Third Order Regulars, who live in religious congregations, and Third Order Seculars or the Secular Franciscan Order, who live in fraternity, fraternities.
