Jubilee Celebrations

Congratulations to all FSPA celebrating their jubilee in 2025!

We are honored to celebrate our jubilarians, who are living their vows as Franciscan women centered in Eucharist, committed to be loving presence through prayer, witness and service, collaborating with the world in care for all creation.
