The Franciscan Sisters of
the Eucharist were founded in 1973 and received full pontifical
status in 1982. The Franciscan Sisters have established a way of
life that endeavors to integrate the perennial values of the
Catholic Church, the centering power of the Holy Eucharist, the
spirituality of St. Francis and St. Clare, and the need for
bonding in community in order to meet the demands of the
contemporary apostolate.
Dedicated in a
particular way to the sacredness of human life and the
inviolability of the human person, the community exercises its
mission through programs of counseling, education, health care,
music, land experience, and service to the family and the
elderly.
The Motherhouse is in
Meriden, Connecticut with Centers located in Lowell,
Michigan; Duluth and Cloquet, Minnesota; Pocatello, Idaho;
Bridal Veil, Oregon; Houston, Texas;
Silver Spring, Maryland; Jerusalem; Assisi and Rome, Italy.
