Wheaton Franciscans Information

The Wheaton Franciscans are the United States region of an international congregation, the Franciscan Sisters, Daughters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We are a community of vowed women and covenant companions, whose mission is to live the Gospel following the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi, and our foundress Mother M. Clara Pfaender. In the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and our foundress Clara Pfaender, the mission of our Province is to live the gospel life, discovered in prayer and community. Through loving presence and service we foster personal and community growth as we respond to the needs of the church and the times. We are a welcoming community of faith striving together to be instruments of peace, hope and justice in our world today. We invite you to join us as seekers - in prayer - in worship - in personal growth - in mission - in community.
