We are sent as Jesus was sent to manifest God's love in the world; to bring new life, meaning and hope to a suffering and searching humanity; to heal with compassion and forgiveness; to proclaim the Gospel in word and action.


We are a community of vowed Franciscan women centered in Eucharist, committed to be loving presence through prayer, witness and service.
Through our more than 270 sisters, 230 affiliates, 120 prayer partners and the 6,500 people working in our sponsored ministries, our work is far-reaching--beyond borders both real and imagined.
