Our Franciscan heritage reminds us that we are brought together in the Lord’s name by the power of the Spirit.

St. Clare of Assisi

St. Francis of Assisi

Like Francis and Clare, we live in continual wonderment that we have been called to this life of grace.  We gather in fraternitas with Jesus as our brother.  In this relationship, we open our hearts to others, including all in our sisterly concern.  We share our brokenness and reflect together on God’s action in our lives.  Through our conversion of heart, we encourage one another to wholeness and radical Gospel living.

Following in the footsteps of St. Francis, we minister to all persons, doing so with a special awareness of those rejected by society.  We seek to love the poor as Jesus did and to work towards enhancing human dignity and furthering social justice.
