Pioneers. Leaders. Trailblazers. Since their arrival in 1874, Felician Sisters have led the way in building the social service landscape in America. They stand with the poor and refugees, teach children, fight injustice, heal the sick, share spirituality, empower women, defend the planet, promote peace, create community and offer hope by simply following God’s will and Blessed Mary Angela’s direction to “serve where you are needed.” Learn more about how you can make a difference in the world by volunteering with us.

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.
