Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi
The Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi work in varied areas of ministry using the gifts and talents given to us by God. We put our skills to use as pastoral ministers, teachers at various educational levels, social workers, medical professionals, interpreters, administrators, musicians, and other ministries. All of us, particularly our sick and elderly, participate in a 'ministry of prayer,' holding before God the needs of the world. Through example we preach the Gospel message of love. Our Franciscan response to the needs of today is rooted in our willingness to transform ourselves and our congregation to contribute an alternative reality for the future. We strive to live out of a stance of peace instead of violence; littleness instead of greatness; love instead of indifference; joy instead of sadness; other centeredness instead of selfishness. We desire to pray, celebrate, laugh and minister together with a common heart and common mind. We believe that we are Franciscans with a future bringing the healing, teaching, liberating, reconciling power of Jesus into the situations in which we live and minister. We are “Women of faith touching a world in need.”
