About Our Center

The Mission

The Franciscan Spiritual Center was founded in April, 1997.  It is a ministry sponsored by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. Rooted in Gospel Values and in the prophetic spirit of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi, we seek to provide environments, experiences and resources which enable persons to meet God in both stillness and activity. With hospitality  simplicity and joy we welcome all as sister and brother.

Vision Statement

In the Spirit of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi and with Christ as the center, it is our vision as the Franciscan Spiritual Center to be a contemplative place of simple beauty, respectful of creation, and reflective of the Franciscan values of hospitality, mutuality and Gospel living.  Our programs are holistic, ecumenical, collaborative in nature and supportive of nonviolence.
