About Our Life
"We are an Order of Saint Francis, a Roman Catholic congregation of religious women... We dedicate ourselves to living joyfully through simplicity, poverty, and obedience."
Our mission around the world is with the poor in their many faces. Following in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, we love and respect every person and all of creation.

View MoreWe care for the sick, visit the dying, and pray with them to the very end. Beyond spiritual care, we run specific projects that contribute to the livelihood of the community.
Our creches are often in places where poverty has stolen hope. We also run old age homes for those without families, ensuring everyone is cared for with dignity, even unto their final rest.
On farmsteads, we teach life skills to the unskilled and provide vital Social Work and counselling to bring families back together.
