Mission
Our community is devoted to bringing the Kingdom of God through Gospel living, through teaching in all areas of Catholic education and through evangelization. The community was founded by Franciscan Sisters whom Bishop Gerald O'Keefe welcomed into the Davenport Diocese and whose constitutions were approved by him.
Qualifications
Candidates must truly desire deep prayer life and union with God; genuine unselfish community life; Franciscan simplicity and poverty; teaching and evangelization apostolate.
Formation
Formation consists of postulancy, novitiate, temporary profession, and then permanent profession. Candidates are formed here in a small, loving, fervent community.
Belated Vocations
Exceptions treated prudently on both ends of the age range. We have found that mothering (and grandmothering) is a life-long vocation and, accordingly, we do not take women with children or grandchildren.
