Greetings of peace!
We are the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of Saint Clare Province. Established in 1972, our Province will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022. We follow the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary in a Franciscan way of life.
