Mission Statement
The Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls, Minnesota, are a religious community whose members are called to a life of prayer, simple living and service to those in need in the spirit of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi. We are committed to non-violence as we seek to heal and serve the poor, the oppressed, the abandoned and the most vulnerable in our society. We seek to build communities of peace and justice wherever we are called to serve.
About This Cause
Dedicated to making a difference among the poor and marginalized, the sisters serve women and children, the elderly, immigrants and people on the margins of society. Many sisters are actively engaged in promoting literacy, facilitating programs for immigrants, helping women with job skills and building self-esteem, cultivating relationships with people living on the streets, providing pastoral care and chaplaincy services. In Little Falls, the sisters sponsor St. Francis Music Center, a community school for the creative and performing arts, and St. Francis Health and Wellness Center, featuring a heated pool, weight room and cardio-equipment and offering exercise classes designed for seniors and people with disabilities. The ministries on the Little Falls campus serve a largely low-income population. The sisters are committed to promoting the Franciscan values and nurturing people in their spiritual journey by offering retreats and days of reflection. Over 200 people engage the sisters and live the Franciscan values through the Associate Relationship. These spiritual programs are ways the sisters ensure that their charism and commitment to the Franciscan way of life continue into the future.
