Mission Statement:

"We, the Sisters of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis, Oldenburg, are women of prayer, committed to the Gospel values as lived by St. Francis and Mother Theresa Hackelmeier. From our life in community we are sent to extend the mission of Jesus through our presence and service. Enlivened by a spirit of justice, reconciliation and peace, we collaborate with others in responding to the needs of the world."

We fulfill these words by being women of prayer in the ministries we do and the places where we are present. Since Vatican II opened the doors to the many needs of the world, we minister in education, parish ministry, social service, healthcare and social justice.

This film, sponsored by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious and narrated by network TV news analyst Cokie Roberts, examines the courageous leadership of our Catholic Sisters.  It is a 300-year-old history of their dedication to the People of God through schools, colleges, hospitals and social service institutions.

Many of us have been beneficiaries of their ministries.  Please come to meet and honor some of the Sisters.

The reception of light refreshments will follow immediately after the film.
