Our Ministry

We are a Congregation of women of faith who commit our lives to serving God. Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, we serve others, especially those most in need, through healthcare, education and social services. Are You Called to Serve Others? While it is our goal to continue to work with our lay partners throughout our various ministries, we pray that God calls more women to religiou

Our Vocation Team is always available to work with you and to help begin your journey of discernment. We encourage Catholic women 17 years or older of all ages and talents. If you have the passion and energy and want to become a religious Sister, we encourage you to make a difference with your life by serving others with the support of the community and living a deeply prayerful life, contact us.
