I love living in FSPA community because...
What is the FSPA mission? And how do we live in community--and what do we love about it?
Our mission as Catholic sisters, as vowed Franciscan women centered in Eucharist, is our commitment to be loving presence through prayer, witness and service. We live in community which grounds us in a prayerful life, our sacred tradition of perpetual adoration, and pushes us to minister to meet the needs of the times.

Watch "I love living in community because..." to hear why sisters love living in--being pushed by-- community.
