Peace & Goodness

Selfless Service to the Poor

Walking in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi

Our Mission

Peace and Goodness

A Franciscan sister is like a shade of many beautiful colors who, like the Apostle Paul, can pride herself of becoming all things to all men that she may save some (1 Cor. 9:22).

A Franciscan sister is also very much given to cultivating her own path to salvation, so that in the words of St. Paul, it would not be said of her that after she had preached and ministered to others, she herself is disqualified of the prize (1 Cor. 9:27).

Your visit to our website promises not only to answer all shades of questions you may have about the Franciscan Sisters of Immaculate Conception in Nigeria but will also assuage your yearnings to share in our Franciscan spiritual heritage.

“The Lord bless you and keep you. May He show His face to you and have mercy. May He turn His countenance to you and give you peace.”

— St. Francis to Brother Leo

Wisdom

Words of Saint Francis

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.

Francis of Assisi

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Francis of Assisi
