OUR MINISTRIES
Spiritual Direction
Do you want to deepen your relationship with God? Several of our Sisters are certified Spiritual Directors who can help.
Social Justice
God calls on us to be the voice of those who cannot speak for themselves. We educate and advocate for the earth, the trafficked, peace, equality and the immigrant and refugee.
Ministry of Franciscan Presence
This ministry calls us to “live the Gospel” by treating those with whom we live, work, pray and socialize with equal dignity, respect and compassion.
Prayer Ministry
It is said that prayer is how we talk to God. It is our joy to spend time each day in prayer for the intentions we receive.
Partner with us to provide reverence, justice and compassion in our community.
