Anniversary Song


Charity, simplicity, hospitality and joy !

These are gifts we always want to share.

Serving where the Spirit leads, answering God’s call

Following Saint Francis and Saint Clare.

Serving people who are poor, caring for the earth

Valuing our life of prayer, giving peace new birth.

Mother Francis, Father Bihn, founders tried and true

God, our refuge and our strength, guide all that we do.

Oh happy day, oh happy time, oh happy year of grace!

One hundred and fifty years and we’re still in the race!

Counting on God’s grace! We’re still in the race!
