Christ Known To All


The Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception is a local diocesan congregation with a specific mission within the church, living their consecrated, apostolic life in the spirit of prayer, simplicity and joyful service after the example of Mary Immaculate and St Francis.

They foster on-going renewal, forming them into persons of faith, hope and love in fraternal communities centered in the Eucharist. They incarnate the Gospel values in their work of evangelization wherever they are, bringing about total human development and the preservation of creation.
