After St. Francis was disowned by his father, what was the extent of his contact/relationship with his siblings, mother, father, and relatives until the end of his life? Did he make any attempts to reconcile?

If memory serves me right, his family later joined the 3rd order that he made.

Yes, at least his brothers and their decendants were great contributors to the Church in Assisi, and very proud of St. Francis, but I don't know of any reconcilliation between St. Francis and his parents.

I am sure that his mother joined him, but do not remember whether his father did.
