the Sisters of Jacopa (FJA)

For older vocations. 

Sr. Kathleen Marshall, a widow and mother, was inspired to found the community on September 14, 2012. With permission from the diocese, they are pursuing candidates and forming this emerging Franciscan family.

The members (widows or single women over 40)  will seek to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, contemplation, adoration and study. Their characteristics are Franciscan, Marian, Eucharistic, and obedience to the Holy Father. Their apostolates of prayer and service will focus especially on widows in addition to priests, the suffering elderly and families.

So many people keep saying they want to find more communities in Canada and this one is in Toronto (yay!) Ohio (sigh).

 

So close!
