Description:

We are women choosing to live the gospel of Jesus Christ as Sisters of St. Francis in the spirit of our foundress, Magdalen Damen Our Charism:We are the Sisters of St. Francis, a community of minores, rooted in the Gospel. We are changed continually in contemplative stillness to live simply, to trust serenely and to treat all creatures with gentle courtesy.Our Mission:Awake to the transforming Love of God throughout creation, we compassionately serve all as sister and brother by our contemplation, presence, forgiveness, hope, and joy.Direction Statement:Grounded in the Franciscan spirit of Gospel living, we commit to listen and support one another through the practice of sacred conversation and shared leadership. Empowered by Divine Province, we face emerging province realities with trust. We collaborate with others to discern ways to respond to the changing needs of God s people in a graced and fragile world.Peace and All Good!Saint Francis of Assisi responded to a call from God by a radical following of the Gospel. He greeted all those he met with a wish for peace and all good. We, Sisters and Associates, wish you the same and offer a bouquet of tulips, a flower that reminds us of our origins in the south of The Netherlands.Magdalen Damen, our Foundress, carried the Franciscan spirit into the turbulent world of her day. She was born in 1787, the daughter of simple tenant farmers. Against all odds, nearly fifty years later, she and four companions began a small Franciscan congregation that has spread from Europe to Southeast Asia, South and North America and East Africa.In North America, in our own times, we follow the Gospel, living as sisters minor in the midst of God’s people, witnessing hope to a struggling world.Sacred Heart Province:The Sisters of St. Francis of Sacred Heart Province is in the Midwest. Currently, we are found in Nebraska and Colorado, with one sister in Nevada. The Provincial Office and Archives are in Denver, Colorado.
