Who we are

Who we are

We Franciscan Sisters of Siessen were founded in 1854 as a subsidiary of the Franciscan Sisters of Dillingen. From this small beginning, a Congregation grew that today has Provinces in Germany, South Africa and Brazil and works in many different ways to ensure that God’s kingdom can be felt and experienced more and more in our world.
