Sisters Welcome Your Prayer Requests
Please know that you and your needs are always in the prayers of the School Sisters of St. Francis. We are deeply humbled by your trust, and we invite you to share your prayer intentions with us during this special season of remembrance.
Our sisters will be honored to pray for them, as you and your loved ones are held in our hearts. Your prayer intentions will be placed before God by our sisters during our All Saints’ Day Mass, and every day throughout November.
We invite you to visit our congregation’s “Candles of Love” website page to light a virtual candle and submit your prayer intentions online.
As always, you are most welcome to join our sisters in St. Joseph Chapel at our Milwaukee motherhouse for the All Saints’ Day Mass on Sunday, November 1, at 9 a.m. and for the Commemoration of All Faithful Departed Mass on Monday, November 2, at 4 p.m.
May the prayers of this season of remembrance bring you the peace and joy promised through the risen Christ!
