The deadline to apply for the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart's 2019-20 Associate orientation is August 15. Christian men and women who want to identify more clearly with the charism (vision) of the Sisters by becoming an Associate are invited to apply. Together the Sisters and Associates "seek to live the Gospel in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi." In addition to supporting each other in prayer, Associates meet regularly for faith sharing in the areas in which they live. Associates commit to carrying out “works of neighborly love” within their own professions, their families or communities. An online application is available at http://www.fssh.net/assoc-application. Questions can be answered by the Associate Office at 815.469.4895, Ext. 879 or email sisters@fssh.net. The office is located at the Motherhouse of the Franciscan Sisters at 9201 W St Francis Road, Frankfort, IL 60423-8330.
