Finding faith, purpose and belonging through Christian community
Christian community is both the greatest blessing and the greatest challenge of religious life. In her latest article for the Global Sisters Report, Sister Grace Del Priore reflects on how prayer, shared life and authentic relationships have strengthened her faith, deepened her vocation and taught her the value of supporting one another through life’s joys and struggles.
Founded in Poland in 1855, the Felician Sisters are a congregation of women religious inspired by the spiritual ideals of their foundress, Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska, and Saints Francis of Assisi, Clare of Assisi and Felix of Cantalice. Arriving in North America in 1874 following Blessed Mary Angela’s directive “to serve where needed,” they helped to weave the social service system. Today, the Felician Sisters founded, sponsor or support through the presence of our sisters, more than 40 ministries – all continuing to evolve to meet the needs of the people they serve.
