Who are
the Rochester Franciscans?
| We believe... that God is revealed through all people, and
all of creation. Inspired by a rich spiritual heritage and
strengthened through our community life, our 380 Sisters and our
100 Cojourners work for a better world for all.
We act... you'll find us with the people in the inner-city of
Chicago, Illinois, or in Charleston, South Carolina, and where
there is need around the US and the world. We are therapists and
administrators, students and lawyers, artists and writers. We
serve in education and health care, in churches and parishes,
and on institutional and community boards. Through our prayers
many are supported, healed, and nurtured. Wherever we minister,
we learn as we educate, are healed as we heal, and are changed
as we pray and act with compassion. |
