Mission -- We, the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration, participate in the mission of the Roman Catholic Church by living the Gospel in imitation of St. Francis and our foundress, Mother Maria Theresia Bonzel. As consecrated women faithful to our vows, we strive in community to combine the contemplative life with the active through perpetual adoration and works of mercy in education, healthcare, and other ecclesial ministries.

We respond gratefully to our call in the Church to adoration and evangelization by:

  • fidelity to our charism of Eucharistic and lived adoration
  • dependence upon Divine Providence
  • loving concern for one another
  • authentic witness of our Franciscan values
  • joyful service to all in need of Christ's presence, especially the poor
