March 8th - 14th
March 8th-14th is National Catholic Sisters Week. During this week we honor all the Sisters who have enriched our lives through the years. Whether they served in education, healthcare, social justice, helping the poor and sick, or the empowerment of women, Catholic Sisters have contributed so much to society and dedicated their lives to helping others.
​
Many thanks to all our Franciscan Sisters of Chicago who have been an inspiration to so many of us over the years! You have touched many hearts! We are truly blessed by the impact you have made on our lives!
