We look into our rich heritage and proclaim:
We follow the Spirit of Francis and Clare.
We live the Gospel joyfully and courageously in continuous conversion.
We seek solidarity with persons who are poor.
We reverence and preserve all of God's creation.
We recognize the need for healing in ourselves and in our world.
Strengthened by God's overflowing love, we walk gently in the world and
actively encourage others to walk with us.

We commit ourselves to:
engage deeply with our Franciscan charism.
dedicate ourselves to rebuilding the church.
address the sources of Mother Earth's wounds.
embrace thouse whom we, as society and church, marginalize.

Our Mission

We, Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls, Minnesota, are a community of women religious whose members are called to a life of prayer, simple living and service to those in need in the spirit of Saints Clare and Francis of Assisi. We are committed to nonviolence as we work to heal and serve the poor, the oppressed, the abandoned and the most vulnerable in our society. We seek to build communities of peace and justice wherever we are called to serve.

Our Franciscan Values

Respect and Dignity for Each Person:
We recognize that persons are unique, possess dignity which must be respected, and have rights.

Compassion and Hospitality:
We want to communicate a sense of welcome and caring to the sisters, staff, volunteers and visitors.

Open Communication:
It is being open, honest and direct in all situations and making sure your message is clear and understood.

Participative Management:
We believe every person’s participation - sisters, staff, volunteers - is essential for the development of the Christian community and the implementation of the Franciscan mission.

Stewardship:
We believe that all our resources - human, material, financial - are held as gifts to carry out our human ministry.

Justice:
It is important for us to be equal, honest and just in all our business practices.
