FSPA is dedicated to relationship-centered care and service. For our staff—who we call our partners in mission—this means quality time working with sisters and quality time advancing our Franciscan mission. We are a socially responsible organization—members of the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility—and offer a PTO plan that starts immediately, 403(b) match, tuition assistance and a wellness program, including access to an Employee Assistance Center and discounted spirituality center programming.

FSPA is an employer committed to a diverse and inclusive work environment. We strongly encourage applications from anyone who would add richness to our community.

  • Partnership
    We empower the spirit of teamwork to strengthen relationships in support of mission and ministry.
  • Integrity

  • Hospitality
    We joyfully welcome all as an image of the divine. There are no strangers here.
  • Discovery
    We bravely cultivate a path of personal
    and communal growth.
