The foundation represents the “Little Portion” that God has given to the Sisters of St. Francis to help further the work of God in our world and to celebrate a portion of God’s goodness.

Currently, grants are available to not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organizations for programs that meet the eligibility requirements. In addition to these grants, three nursing scholarships are also available to those who meet the eligibility requirements.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Reunited Congregation

The Sisters of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities were officially founded on July 12, 2004 when the Sisters of St. Francis of the Immaculate Virgin of Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., the Sisters of St. Francis Third Order Regular of Buffalo (Williamsville Franciscans), and the Sisters of the Third Order of Syracuse, N.Y. united to form the new congregation. This marked the first union of Franciscan congregations in the U.S.  In August 2007, the Sisters of St. Francis of Millvale merged with the Syracuse-based congregation, making it one of the largest Franciscan congregations in the nation.

The merger completes the reunification of the Neumann-Franciscans, as all four of the former communities grew out of the same Philadelphia congregation which was originally founded in 1855.

The reunited congregation is comprised of 530 sisters who serve in the ministries of education, healthcare, pastoral care, the missions, social services and retreat work in 32 dioceses and archdioceses around the world.
