Herzegovinian Franciscans, mostly from the friary in Kreševo, who took pastoral care over Herzegovina, decided to establish their own friary in Herzegovina in Široki Brijeg in 1840.Шаблон:Sfn Leaders of this initiative were Nikola Kordić, Anđeo Kraljević and Vidošević.Шаблон:Sfn At the time, Apostolic Vicar of Bosnia Rafael Barišić had an uneasy relationship with the Bosnian Franciscans. The Herzegovinian Franciscans established contact with the Vizier of Herzegovina Ali Pasha Rizvanbegović was granted his own eyalet by the Ottoman sultan for his loyalty during the Bosnian uprising. The Franciscans considered that they would build their friary faster if the apostolic vicar would come to Herzegovina.Шаблон:Sfn
