Franciscan Sisters
The Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George are a Catholic congregation of consecrated women religious who have been inspired to follow Christ unconditionally through the Cross, Crib, and Holy Eucharist. In the footsteps of St. Francis, we live a simple, poor, and joyful life where we witness to the beauty and totality of being given over to the One who has first loved us.
Devoted to the Sacred Heart
Conscious of the Father's love for each one of us, we are drawn deeper into the depths of His Heart.
Living from a place of belovedness and firm hope, we rejoice at our vocation to the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George.
Animated by the love of Christ,
our foundress Mother M. Anselma
followed in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi.
Before the Lord,
she recognized her poverty and rejoiced at His humility in becoming man for each of us.
Captivated by His Face,
she sought the Poor One, the Crucified One, the Pierced Bridegroom.
Following Christ with a firm resolve,
to be a holocaust before God,
she lived a surrendered and joyful life.
Gazing upon the Pierced Heart of her Savior,
her own heart was transformed to be fully united to His.
We, her daughters, continue to seek and follow her example of being simple, humble, and joyful Sisters.
"Do not lose courage even if your worries seem difficult.
Flee in such moments to the Sacred Heart,
There you will always be consoled." - Mother M. Anselma, foundress
Simply ready in obedience to god's will -
"Offer yourself as a holocaust to God.
You came to fulfill the will of god."
-Mother M. Anselma Bopp, Foundress
Congratulations, Sisters!
On August 2nd, Sister Miriam was received into the Novitiate of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George! Sister M. Giorgiana, Sister Mary Paul, and Sister Stana Maria professed their First Vows of consecrated chastity, poverty, and obedience during the beautiful Mass.
We are grateful for the daily "fiat/yes" of our three newly-professed Sisters and the great fidelity of our Lord! We also joyously welcome Sr. Miriam into our community as she begins her canonical year.
Please join us in praying for all of our Sisters!
