About Sisters of st. francis of philadelphia
The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia is a community of Catholic women religious who have dedicated their lives to serving God and others. With a history that dates back to the early 19th century, this community has grown to include approximately 400 sisters who live and work in Aston, PA.
At the heart of the Sisters' mission is a commitment to living out the Gospel message through service, prayer, and community life. They believe that by following in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, they can make a positive impact on the world around them.
One way that the Sisters serve others is through their various ministries. These include healthcare services, education programs, social justice initiatives, and more. Whether they are working in hospitals or schools or advocating for marginalized communities, each sister brings her unique gifts and talents to bear on behalf of those in need.
In addition to their external ministries, the Sisters also place great emphasis on internal spiritual growth and development. They gather regularly for prayer and reflection as well as for communal meals and other activities that foster a sense of sisterhood.
Overall, the Sisters' way of life is one that emphasizes simplicity, humility, compassion, and love. Through their daily actions both within their own community and beyond it into wider society they seek to embody these values in all that they do.
