During National Vocation Awareness Week it is not unusual for Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity to be in more than one place at a time (in fact, that is is the blessing of being part of a Community of Sisters with lots of energy and personal God-given gifts!) This week (like any other week) we are deeply committed to inviting young women to consider our particular Franciscan Congregation. We can’t help it. We truly believe in the charism entrusted to us. We sincerely care about the people who we are blessed to serve.
To make this concrete, we share a few current calendar highlights that are truly supported by our lives of personal and communal prayer-especially daily Eucharist:
