Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross in Green Bay, WI

I am most grateful for the gift of Associate Relationship with the Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross.

I was drawn to the charism of the Bay Settlement Franciscans through several Sisters that I worked with. It is a Community that I am comfortable with. They are most welcoming and extremely hospitable.

Bonding with the Sisters and other Associates in our Dialogue Groups is very important to me. It gives me a chance to study, reflect, and discuss topics, and to share insights with each other. I am blessed to be part of some great conversations and to be part of a wonderful Community.

I am also blessed with a wonderful husband, Michael. He is loving, caring, and positive in outlook. I have two children, eight grandchildren, and seven great-grandkids. They reside in the Green Bay area, thus gifting me frequently with their presence at my home.

The Associate Relationship is open to men and women who want to:

  • deepen their relationship
  • with God
  • partner with the Sisters in prayer and Gospel mission
