The Franciscan Hospitaller Sisters of the Immaculate Conception are members of a Roman Catholic religious institute of consecrated women, which was founded in Portugal in 1871. We follow the Rule of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis and as the term “hospitaller” indicates, focus our ministries on a spirit of medical care. Our charism emphasizes hospitality and service under the model of the Good Samaritan. In our congregation, the post nominal initials used after each Sister's name is "F.H.I.C."
The Sisters’ mission, as expressed by our foundress, Mother Maria Clara, is “WHERE THERE IS GOOD TO BE DONE, DO IT.” These words have paved the way for a large variety of apostolates including education, catechesis, healthcare, pastoral work, assisting the elderly, missionary work, running orphanages, assisting immigrants, and assisting the homeless.
The daily prayer life of the sisters in this order consists of Mass, an hour of Eucharistic adoration, Liturgy of the Hours, and the Rosary.
