FSSJ Mission Statement
Writing and Praying with Icons
One of the great treasures of our FSSJ Legacy are the Icons which were written by our FSSJ Artist Sister Marvina Kupiszewski. Icons were referred to in the Eastern Christian tradition as the “windows into heaven” because they seek to lift the soul. Iconography involves deep prayer, fasting, meditation and dedication. How blessed we are to have these sacred Icons here in St. Francis Park! The Icons will be displayed in the library during the month of November.
