Our Charism

We, the Franciscan Sisters of Our
Lady of Perpetual Help, strive to
be prayerful women of faith,
prophetic vision and courage.

Discerning God's will within the
Church, we dedicate our lives
to witness the Gospel
compassionately and joyfully.

Sr. Lorraine Therese DeFebbo

Director of Liturgy & Music Hubertus, Wisconsin "Through my work in liturgy and music, I try to help parishioners make the connections between liturgy and life. The goal of good liturgy is two-fold: to allow ourselves to be transformed by the Eucharist and also to be that transforming presence in the world."
