Following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, St. Francis, and our foundress, Mother Maria Theresia, we strive to combine the contemplative life with the active through perpetual adoration and the works of mercy in education and healthcare, that Love may be loved.
Our Sisters serve in the active apostolates of healthcare and education.
Your vocation is a gift from God. It is His plan of joy and fulfillment for your life and the way He made your heart to love. Discernment is the process of hearing His voice and following His call, step by step and accompanied by others. God calls some to a life of total consecration in religious life through the vows of poverty, obedience, and chastity.
In this Jubilee Year of Hope, join the Universal Church in the practice of pilgrimage. We invite college-age men and women for a pilgrimage day at our Motherhouse. The day will include Holy Mass, adoration and prayer, tours, lunch, recreation, and opportunities to learn about the life and history of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration.
Create space to allow Jesus to speak to your heart. Throughout the weekend, you will grow in prayer, experience Jesus in the Sacraments and Eucharistic Adoration, and connect with Sisters and other women discerning God’s will.
Retreats begin on Friday at 7:00 pm and conclude on Sunday at 11:30 am EST.
