Description:

This annual event supports the infirm and elderly Franciscan Sisters who reside in the health center at our motherhouse, Stella Niagara. You are precious to us! And, while we wish more than ever that we could be with you in person, we know it wouldn't be safe to do so this year because of COVID-19. Instead, we've brought this event to you via the web and invite you to support our sisters in this new way.I hope you’ll explore the event website for the online auction and ways you can help. Visit: http://stellaosf.maestroweb.com We offer our prayers and deep gratitude to you for your support and friendship that enables us to provide quality care for the sisters who have been so good to us in our formative years. God bless you! Our CharismLike Francis of Assisi and Magdalen Damen,we trust God's goodness and providence,living the Gospel in our time with gentle courtesy toward all creation.Our MissionWe are women choosing to live the gospel of Jesus Christ as Sisters of St. Francis in the spirit of our foundress, Magdalen Damen.Our diversity of gifts is a power we choose to use for and with others because we are sisters to all. Conscious of our personal, communal, and national experience of history, sin, and grace, we, as people of God, commit ourselves to human rights, ecological harmony, and global peace.Wherever we live and serve, we contemplate the Word of God and call one another to conversion of heart in order to transform unjust structures and to hear the cry of the poor. Trusting in God and open to risk, we walk with courage.
