"Fraternity" tends to have academic implications. See:

I had thought about these words. My problem is that "fraternity" is an organization of laymen for religious or charitable purposes, which is not the case, as this intitution congregates both laymen and consecrated members.

Please Google "brotherhood" in conjunction with the "sacred name" you have witheld. Then, and only then, by the grace of God may you find enlightenment in your quest. Searched are the like which include the term St Francis with a plethora of likenesses.
Francis was a man of action. His simplicity of life extended to ideas and deeds. If there was a simple way, no matter how impossible it seemed, Francis would take it. So when Francis wanted approval for his brotherhood, he went straight to Rome to see Pope Innocent III.
