Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist

The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist were founded in 1973 and received full pontifical status in 1982. The sisters endeavor to integrate the perennial values of the Catholic Church, the centering power of the Holy Eucharist, the spirituality of Saint Francis and Saint Clare, and the need for bonding in community in order to meet the demands of the contemporary apostolate.

Dedicated to the sacredness of human life and the inviolability of the human person, the community carries out this mission through programs of counseling, education, health care, music, land experience, technology and service to the family and the elderly.

The motherhouse is in Meriden, Connecticut, with centers in Michigan, Idaho, Oregon, Virginia, Indiana, Florida, Vermont, North Carolina, British Columbia, Jerusalem, Assisi, and Rome.
