The Franciscan Sisters of the Poor, a community in Christ founded by Blessed Frances Schervier, is dedicated to the service of God's people in a community of love: living the life of the gospel in the Franciscan Spirit through personal union with Christ. Associates of the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor express this mission through joining the Sisters in prayer, and through assisting the Sisters to deliver care to the poor and the needy with compassion and love: each according to his or her gifts. Associates are men and women, married and single, who choose to share in the life and mission of the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor. They do this in various countries and in a variety of ways. Some serve directly with the Sisters in ministry, while others carry our healing charism into the world in a variety of ways, as the Lord calls them.
