The Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George is a Roman Catholic Congregation of consecrated women whose spirituality is derived from St. Francis of Assisi. [1] The religious sisters have particular devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Mass, the Eucharist, Scripture, the Liturgy of the Hours, and the Stations of the Cross. They have also served at St. Pius X Catholic Church, ministering to the needs of the parish. St. Francis prayed with his arms outstretched before the Crucifix, and the Sisters imitate this action as a prayer of abandonment and surrender to Gods Will. Currently, Sister M. Jacinta Fecteau teaches fourth grade, Sister M. Elise Mierendorf teaches second grade, Sister Mary George Brown teaches music and band, and Sister M. Clare OConnor is a teachers aide in the preschool. Two of the major health care venues the Sisters serve in are Saint Anthony's Health Center and Mother of Good Counsel Home.
