Sisters of St Francis of the Martyr St George
The Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George is a Roman Catholic religious order for women. The order's mother house is in Germany and the American provincial mother house is in Alton, Illinois, with convents in the Diocese of La Crosse, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, the Archdiocese of St. Louis, the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, and others. The order was founded in 1869 by Mother M. Anselma Bopp, in Thuine, Germany.
The charism of this congregation is "To make the merciful love of Christ visible". The Sisters live this out in an intense spiritual life, grounded in the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a committed common life and an active apostolate. The sisters serve in health care, education, domestic service, and care for prelates and priests.
