Movin' 4 Missions

Step Up to Support Our Sisters' Ministries!

Movin’ 4 Missions, our community’s step challenge fundraiser, is returning for its fifth year this May! Our sisters invite all our past years’ participants to once again join in the fun, and we welcome first-time participants, whether they are sisters, associates, staff, our sponsored ministries, volunteers, or friends of the community.

We now have a special event page on our website explaining how to get involved. From there, you can visit our registration website to sign up to walk between 125,000 and 200,000 steps in the month of May. You can count your steps everywhere you go, and you can choose to walk by yourself, with a friend, or as part of a group. Participants can get an event t-shirt or a sunhat with our School Sisters of St. Francis logo that they can wear wherever their steps take them.

All the dollars that are raised are used to support our retired sisters and for social justice, education, and other ministries across the United States and around the world. With your help, every step in Movin’ 4 Missions will be a big step forward for our ministries!
