The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, “who was born an infant in order to be loved and not feared,” constitutes the heart of our charism as Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Infant Jesus, founded on Christmas Day 1879 by the Servant of God, Barbara Micarelli.

Her “clear vision was to dedicate her whole life to the welfare of the poor, the orphans and the abandoned…” This is the focus of our services of charity, wherever we are present in catechetical, educational, and pastoral ministries, social services, and health care, sustained by His presence in grace and in prayer: the Eucharist, Liturgy of the Hours, Adoration, and devotion to Mary.

Be joyful in the Lord…do not forget the Infant Jesus who was born in the Grotto of Bethlehem, where we shall be spiritually all together in order to thank, praise and adore the new-born Infant who has come down from heaven out of love for us.

Mother Mary Joseph’s ardent desire, “Try to help me in the salvation of souls!” urges us, her daughters, to keep alive our missionary spirit. As Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Infant Jesus we continue to bring the Good News to the world by our Franciscan presence.

Following Mother’s example, our ministries are directed toward all the needs of humanity for the human and Christian growth of the individual, the family and society through education in schools, health care service, in social work and especially in catechetical, liturgical and pastoral ministries.

Franciscan joy and simplicity of life in fraternity sustain our consecration through the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience. We wish the Savior, born in Bethlehem, to be born in the hearts of all whom we serve in Africa (Cameroon, Libya), Asia (Philippines), Europe (Albania and Italy), South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru), and the United States (New Jersey and Virginia).

The Institute of the Franciscan Sisters of the Infant Jesus received official recognition from the Church on February 10, 1910.
