Vocations: Become a Sister
Why Become One of Us? Share Franciscan hope and joy by living as sister to all, using your unique gifts to serve in the gaps and margins of our world. In a community of prayerful Franciscan women, living the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, you will join us in loving relationship with God, one another and all that God has created. Become a part of something greater than yourself, following Christ in the spirit of Francis and Clare of Assisi, as we promote justice and peace with emphasis on human dignity, integral ecology, and reverencing all as a reflection of God’s abundant love.Discerning Your Vocation
