Who We Are
We, the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi claim "hospitality" as one of our hallmarks. In our Mission Statement we speak of "carrying forward the dependence on God, prayerfulness, simplicity, and hospitality which marked the foundation of the Congregation in Milwaukee" in 1849.
It is not surprising that hospitality should be a focus for us because as Franciscans we are called to value relationships where ever we find ourselves. Those relationships span all of creation because all that God has made is good. In our community and ministerial life, how we relate extends to persons, to our care for the earth, to our efforts in peacemaking, and, most importantly, to our God. We continue to grow in our understanding of how to live in relationship and witness to that with genuine hospitality.
Thank you for visiting us and we look forward to your return visits in the future.
Come often and enjoy our Franciscan web hospitality! If you have comments or questions for us, please share those with us
in our Guestbook.
with the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation office ~ Daily Reflections for your consideration.
