Justice & Peace
In the spirit of our foundress, Blessed Mary Angela, Felician Sisters serve as instruments of justice and peace. We stand with the marginalized, the oppressed, and the vulnerable. We advocate for those without a voice in our society. We work on behalf of all people who are victims of injustice and violence. We invite you to read about our work for justice and peace – and to join us in promoting these initiatives to restore human dignity to all.

Serving where needed since 1874
Founded in Poland in 1855, the Felician Sisters are a congregation of women religious inspired by the spiritual ideals of their foundress, Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska, and Saints Francis of Assisi, Clare of Assisi and Felix of Cantalice. Arriving in North America in 1874 following Blessed Mary Angela’s directive “to serve where needed,” they helped to weave the social service system. Today, the Felician Sisters founded, sponsor or support through the presence of our sisters, more than 40 ministries – all continuing to evolve to meet the needs of the people they serve.
