Foundress Day - December 8th

On December 8th, we celebrate the 130th anniversary of the founding of the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago. It was on this day on December 8th, 1894, that Josephine Dudzik established the congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Blessed Kunegunda (the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago's original name) at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Chicago.  Please enjoy your Foundress Day page where we provide a documentary and Mother Mary Theresa Dudzik's journal writings.
