Vocation Pastoral

Where there is good to be done do it!

The motto “Lucere et Fovere” encapsulates the essence of the Franciscan Hospitaller Sisters of the Immaculate Conception’s vocation and mission. 

“Lucere” translates to “to shine” or “to radiate light.” In the context of the Congregation, it symbolizes the Sisters’ commitment to being a beacon of hope and love, illuminating the lives of those they serve. It speaks to their dedication to bringing light through acts of kindness, care, or simply being a source of spiritual enlightenment.

“Fovere” translates to “to nurture” or “to care for.” This word embodies the Congregation’s dedication to nurturing the well-being of the people they serve. It reflects their tireless efforts to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual care to those in need, mirroring the nurturing love and compassion of Saint Francis of Assisi.
