Our Mission

We Millvale Franciscans express our love for God and neighbor by living and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ through our vowed life together, through our prayer and through our ministry.

As did Francis of Assisi, we embrace a life of continuous conversion, poverty, servanthood and peacemaking as expressed in the Third Order Regular Rule.

Through Mother Mary Francis Bachman and St. John Neumann, we trace our simplicity, joy and hospitality.

With trust in God's providential care we reverently share our gifts wherever they are needed, especially with the poor.

We continually seek ways to respond to the needs of the poor, to nurture their spiritual and human growth and to establish justice.

Led by the Spirit and supported by our Sisters in community, we pledge to live these ideals.
