TIFFIN — “We ask for the great blessing,” said Bishop Daniel E. Thomas last Friday, June 28, during a special Mass recognizing the 150th anniversary of the Sisters of St. Francis of Tiffin, OH. “That the Lord may continue to speak through our hearts. So that we might respond to him in love, and in truth.”
Sisters of St. Francis’ continuing mission
Since its beginnings in 1869 caring for displaced orphans and elderly people after the Civil War to the multi-dimensional campus and community it is today, the Sisters of St. Francis are celebrating 150 years of caring for people, the earth and one another. “Over these past 150 years, our charism, our Franciscan values of concern for the poor, care of creation, contemplation, action and peacemaking have kept us responding to the needs of the times, shaping ourselves and shaping our ministries,” the sisters said as a group. “These values drive our ministries – elder care, child care, environmental education and community-supported agriculture, retreats and spiritual direction.”
