Mission
The charism of the Sisters is to be little and humble in imitation of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Eucharistic Adoration is the source from which prayer and vowed life in common flow. The Franciscan values of contemplation, minority, humility, poverty, and fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church are central to their way of life. The community apostolate embraces academic education at all levels, a retreat center, a Catholic bookstore, and outreach to the poor by local and international shipments through the Mission Warehouse. Community life takes shape in common prayer through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Divine Office, meals, work and recreation. The Sisters wear a simple brown habit, scapular, white cord and black veil, giving corporate witness to their consecration as Brides of Christ.
