Newer Orders Of Men

[TrinityFanGuyVT]

Hello everyone. I was glancing at the "men in habits" thread and I noticed a lot of communities pictured that seemed to be newer. A lot of these groups though, seemed to be based in Europe.

Are there any newer groups (I'm thinking lesser known, not the big names like the CFRs) of men located in North America, particularly semi-contemplative/friar types of communities? I'm more curious than anything else, I'm pretty set on my own vocational discernment, but it's always razzle dazzle to learn about new groups.
