Our Stories

School Sisters of St. Francis range in age from 27 to over 100, come from all walks of life, diverse career tracks, and wide-ranging interests and opinions. We’re all connected by membership in this community of women seeking to live out the gospel. Here you have an opportunity to meet just a few of our 1,050 members.
