Franciscan Sister Mary Teresa Bettag reflects on New Beginnings this week. “Our Congregation was founded in 1869 to catechize. A bit of history about our German roots, and a look back to look forward, prevailing beyond the Motherhouse Fire… ‘Ah. At last we can begin together.’” How do we begin again, by trusting in Jesus? An invitation, especially at the start of a school year, requires a personal decision to choose. “God is with you in every new beginning”
Since 1869, Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity have served in Catholic Health Care, Education, Campus Ministry and Parish-Community Service in Dioceses in Michigan, Wisconsin, the Midwest, Central and Southwest U.S.
