We are a Missionary Congregation of Women Religious

We are women religious, called by God through our congregation and the Church to bear witness to His enduring presence in the world.

Guided by the Holy Spirit and inspired by the lives of St. Francis of Assisi and our founders, we seek to follow Christ faithfully in all that we do.

As missionaries, we are sent to serve Christ in the poor and to draw all people into deeper union with the Father.

Through prayer and ministry, we proclaim the Gospel and strive to fulfill the prayer of Jesus: “that all may be one” (John 17:21). Our Sisters serve across the globe, working to bring healing, unity, and compassion to a world in need.

True joy is found in the atonement of Jesus Christ and the Franciscan values of peace, reconciliation, and unity. Wherever we are called, we seek to be instruments of justice and peace, helping to build up the Body of Christ.

"We could not be true Franciscans without being missionaries. The missionary aspect of our vocation is essential—an inherent part of who we are. Through this calling, we serve the poor in the heart of our cities, in rural communities, both here at home and in distant lands."
~ Mother Lurana (1870–1935)

Embracing the spirit of St. Francis and our founders, Mother Lurana and Father Paul, we are missionaries dedicated to living and witnessing Gospel values through our daily lives.

Our ministry is rooted in prayer and active service, inspired by Jesus’ prayer: “That all may be one… so that the world may believe that You sent me” (John 17:21–23).

Today, our presence extends across Brazil, Canada, Italy, Japan, the Philippines, and the United States.
