As Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity we place our lives in God’s hand as we live out our vows. Our Community responds to the needs of the Church as they are expressed to our Community leaders. We, as individuals, respond in turn by going in obedience to serve where the needs await us.

Listen as Sister Kathleen reflects; “Life with the Lord is full of surprises! I never dreamed of being a Franciscan Sister of Christian Charity, and yet here I am, happily loving and serving the Lord in a Community that just fits me! I never dreamed of living in Mississippi which is a good bit different from the Wisconsin farm where I grew up. Yet, here I am in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Here I see Jesus’ face in the expectant faces of my Kindergarten students. I feel the joy of Jesus in the Gospel music celebrated by the parish choir I get to work with. I sense some of the burden of Jesus among the Hispanic families, whose lives hang in a balance as they work, pray and raise their children among us. God’s plan unfolds anew day by day, and though it is so different from the path I might have plotted for myself, it is surely the right path, the blessed way for me to find the Lord and the happiness only He can bring.”
