In the 1940s, my brother and I attended St. Mary Catholic Church and school in Lafferty, OH. The Felician Sisters were our teachers and we have fond memories of them. †Sr. Mary Theophane Zakrzewski, †Sr. Mary Amata Wachowski, †Sr. Mary Beatrice Bajek, †Sr. Mary Clarisse Zawacki and †Sr. Mary Dorothea Woronka were our favorites! We lived down the hill from the convent, and when the sisters had out-of-town visitors, they would send my brother or me with an egg for our mother to bake a cake for them. (Mom was a great baker!) My late husband and I always contributed to annual donation requests for those in religious life. Thank you for your many years of service to God.

Serving where needed since 1874

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.
