Welcome to St. Ann Convent

 

            St. Ann is the Western Retirement Center for the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia.  This is a center which offers services for a continuum of care.  There are various levels of Franciscan Living. 

       The Center is comprised of four homes, which supports the continuum of retirement from independence to need for nursing care.

    The Sisters living at St. Ann have ministered primarily in Oregon, Washington, and California.  They have served in education, healthcare, and social services.  Presently, they participate in the work of the community through prayer ministry supporting the needs of the local, national, and global needs of the world.

 

 

 

Mission Statement
We, the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, choose to live the Gospel in the prophetic spirit of Francis of Assisi and our foundress Mother Francis Bachmann. With Jesus Christ as Brother, we live as sister with one another, with the entire human family, and with all creation. Calling ourselves and one another to continuous conversion of heart we commit ourselves to a life of contemplation, poverty, and humility.
As vowed women of the Church, we respond with diverse gifts in a spirit of collaboration and of mutual service to the needs of others, especially the economically poor, the marginal, and the oppressed. Seeking to participate in the Spirit's action in the world, we direct our personal and corporate resources to the promotion of justice, peace, and reconciliation.
Filled with trust in the goodness of God, we move forward.
