The Sisters of St. Francis of Tiffin, Ohio, and our associates, desire to live the Gospel in an intentional way. We are committed to Franciscan values of care for creation, a special love for those who are poor, peacemaking and a deep, contemplative life from which our ministry flows.

These values drive our sponsored ministries: elder care, child care, environmental education and community supported agriculture, retreats and spiritual direction.

We are actively engaged in peace and justice ministries, primarily in the United States and Mexico. Hospitality, simplicity and joy characterize our relationships with one another in community and the way we share the Good News with others.

Founded in 1869 to meet a need for orphan and elder care, the Tiffin Franciscans continue to minister in response to the current needs of the Church and the world.
