Saint Francis recognized water as a precious resource and inspires us today in our relationship with our “sister”. From our earliest founding years in Wisconsin, our Franciscan community has enjoyed the sparkling streams of the Manitowoc River, the gentle ripples of Silver Lake, or the grander waves of Lake Michigan nearby.

The Canticle of the Creatures expresses well the Franciscan respect for Sister Water who sustains all life. Praised be You, my Lord, by Sister Water who is so useful, precious and pure….

Since 1869, the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity have served in Catholic health care, education, campus ministry, and parish-community service. Recently, demanding women have joined us from Michigan, Colorado, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Texas.

God is calling you. We invite you to Dios te lama. Te invitamos.
