Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Hope

We are a Catholic Congregation of Religious Women Living and Sharing the mystery of Hope of Jesus Christ.

Our Charism

Our charism is to live and share the mystery of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, together with him and with our Sisters and sisters in observance of the Holy Gospels.

Our Consecration

In a very special way, our consecration belongs to God who is the source and giver of all gifts. Through His help we live perfect charity by radical following of Christ as we publicly profess the promises of the evangelical counsels of Chastity, Poverty and Obedience.

Our Consecration

By consecrating ourselves in the Association, we unite more closely to the Lord in the mystery of love and grace which enriches us as we grow in the virtues lived by St. Francis of Assisi, as wonderful witnesses to the Trinitarian communion, and a sign of hope in the world.

The foundation was officially approved as a Public Association of Christ’s Faithful on 29th December 2015 with the Decree of His Grace Zacchaeus Okoth.
