Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Infant Jesus

As Franciscans we strive to live joyfully and simply, loving “Jesus in our neighbor and our neighbor in Jesus.” Founded by Barbara Micarelli on Christmas day 1879, we find in Jesus the origin and reason of the charity, poverty, and humility to which the Franciscan life pledges us.

We remain open to the needs of the Church and of the people throughout the five continents on which we serve, especially in the areas of education, health care, pastoral ministry, retreats, and youth work.

We invite all women between the ages of 20 and 35 to “Come and See” if the Lord is calling you to share our Franciscan life and joy!
