CONGREGATION OF FRANCISCAN MISSIONARY SISTERS
OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Divine Providence intertwines the history of the Congregation - from its founding to the present day, with the events of ordinary life; Our founders listened intently to Divine Providence, "admiring the many and innumerable ways in which it must reach its ends."
