Abstract
This study concerns the Franciscan convent in DaÄice in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The convent is presented as a community carrying out pastoral duties in the town as well as in its extended neighbourhood. The friars’ presence in their "circulus" outside of times when alms were collected remains nearly unconsidered. It is well documented, however, in the convent’s account books. The books suggest that the friars used to deal with the convent’s poor economic conditions by serving as chaplains in parishes and castles. These activities ensured a certain income for the convent, revived the original Medieval tradition at the same time, and also allowed the friars to significantly participate in the process of CounterÂ-Reformation.
