The Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross are a religious community focused on prayer, presence, and hospitality, guided by the Cross, Word, and Eucharist to address contemporary needs. Based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the group traces its roots to 1868, when a Catholic priest and several women began serving immigrant communities in the Northeast Wisconsin region, forming a congregation dedicated to service in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. The organization operates within the religious institutions sector, emphasizing spiritual formation and charitable presence as its primary contributions to those it serves. With a small-to-medium size footprint, the community sustains its mission through shared life in community and ongoing engagement with needs identified by its members and supporters. A recent development noted the community’s preparation for its 39th General Chapter in 2022, under the thematic focus Be Transformed in Christ, reflecting ongoing organizational renewal and reflection.
