FSSJ Mission Statement
Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph
Gather for Chapter at St. Francis Park
Every four years the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph gather for meetings in which we make decisions for our future. This year the Chapter is being held at St. Francis Park July 12-15.
We begin the Chapter with a special Mass then a day of retreat.
Our Foundress, Mother Colette Hilbert, died on July 13, 1938. On the eve of her death anniversary we have a Transitus prayer service, celebrating her transition from Earth to Heaven.
Please pray for us as we continue to discern God’s call to serve Him and God’s people.
