What then is the mission of a Franciscan Hospitaller Sister?
To be in the Church and in the world, the presence of Christ who welcomes and serves everyone, especially those who are most in need.
- Our mission of hospitality is a continuation of the action of St. Francis of Assisi who reached out to the lepers to accept them.
- Our mission of hospitality is an extension of the compassionate deeds of Father Beirão, who, inspired by his missionary zeal, sought out those in need wherever he encountered them.
- Our mission of hospitality reflects the wisdom encapsulated in Sister Maria Clara’s words: “Treat everyone well.”
