Felician Sisters of North America
Members of an international community of women religious founded in Poland in 1855, the first Felician Sisters arrived in North America in 1874. By the middle of the twentieth century, they had established eight provinces across the United States and Canada, pioneering in social services and education and following the example of their foundress, Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska. In 2009, they merged into one Our Lady of Hope Province. The Felician Sisters continue to follow the spiritual ideals of Saints Francis of Assisi, Clare of Assisi, and Felix of Cantalice, as they seek to fulfill their mission to “cooperate with Christ in the spiritual renewal of the world.”

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.
