About Us

Direction Statement (2006-2010)

As Franciscans rooted in Eucharist and in communion with all of God's creation, we commit ourselves to:

• Nurture cosmic awareness, develop right relationships with all creation, and promote sustainability of Mother Earth.
• Deepen our understanding of our Franciscan heritage and live authentically as Franciscans in the 21st century.
• Intensify our efforts to effect just treatment of all, especially women, in church and society.
• Invite and support new members, affiliates, and partners to join us on our Franciscan journey.

Mission Statement

We are ecclesial women whose mission is that of the church. We are sent as Jesus was sent to manifest God's love in the world; to bring new life, meaning and home to a suffering and searching humanity; to heal with compassion and forgiveness; to proclaim the Gospel in word and action. We are called to be prophets in the biblical sense of scrutinizing and criticizing our times, proclaiming the Christian dimension of eschatological values, and recalling people to their true nature and purpose.
