"An integral part of our mission is to provide a sound academic and spiritual education to as many young people as we can."

We invite you to browse through this section to learn more about the ministries we are involved in and ask that you consider if God is calling you to a life of service in the church, perhaps within our community.

Where we serve

The work we do as Felician Sisters today springs from the passion of our foundress, Blessed Mary Angela. Inspired by her many accomplishments, we strive each day to do all we can to help those we encounter who are most in need. An integral part of our mission is to provide a sound academic and spiritual education to as many young people as we can. We also provide special education to those who are disabled, emotionally troubled or who have special needs.One of our treasured ministries in education is reaching out to those in foster care, helping them to grow up knowing they are well loved and ready to take on the world. We are so grateful when we are able to place these special children with caring families, especially when brothers and sisters can be placed together in one loving home.

In response to those we serve who are recovering from illness or emotional trauma, we provide care and companionship, helping them with their problems and praying with them as they find solace in a loving God. It is our joy as well to spend time with the elderly and with those who feel lonely or forgotten by their families. Many times on the path God has led us to, we are called upon to help those who have lost their way, becoming involved in crime or who suffer from addiction. As they struggle to find their way back, we do all we can to support their efforts and pray that they have the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

As religious women dedicated to service in the church today, we feel grateful to be gifted by God with a call to all of these ministries. The work can be challenging to be sure, but it is essential and rewarding. We would not want any other life. You can feel in your heart the importance of what we have committed our lives to in the smile of a child sounding out her first word, the rich stories shared by an elderly man grateful to have someone to talk with, the look on the face of a young man in a detention center as he realizes for the first time that someone truly cares what happens to him. These are some of the many gifts we receive as we strive to help others find their God given gifts.
