Franciscan Daughters of Mary

The Franciscan Daughters of Mary are contemplative/active missionaries who serve Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Author of Life with joyful simplicity in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. In addition to the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, we profess a fourth vow to uphold the dignity of every human person from the moment of conception until natural death. We are zealous lovers of Our Lord Jesus and are committed to loving everyone He loves.

Our apostolates include a pregnancy care center, which encourages women to make good choices in their pregnancies and good choices in their lives, and provides spiritual and material support for needy moms, as well as parenting classes for both mothers and fathers. At our mission, we also have a food pantry for needy families as well as a free medical clinic and dental clinic for uninsured or under-insured individuals.

As sisters committed to pro-life issues, we are dedicated to the building up of the family, especially the family of the Church through our prayers for priests and an increase of holy vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
