We, the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Victories are founded on the Island of Madeira, Portugal, on 15th January 1884. Our Foundress, Mary Jane Wilson, who later assumed the name, Sr. Mary of St. Francis, was of English nationality. God inspired in Sister Mary of St. Francis Wilson a form of evangelical life illuminated by the example and rule of St. Francis of Assisi centered on charity and totally absorbed in seeking the glory of God in concrete and creative display of love for fellowmen. We imbibe this spirit, continue today to live this form of life, doing all the good we possibly can wherever we are. Fully conscious of the truth that "God is our Father and best Friend", we want to make Him known and experienced as such by all, so as to reawaken hope in people's hearts and lead them to believe in the final victory of God over every form of oppression and poverty.

We are thus called upon to proclaim the Gospel by means of the various activities we are involved. Our mission includes endeavors for the benefit of the elderly, the youth, children and families. Our field of work encompasses the sick, the poor and emigrants, the hospitals, old age homes, schools, seminaries and parishes. All our efforts are in collaboration with the local diocesan clergy and are fully incorporated into the local church. Always priority is given to what is most needed and most urgent, in church and in society. Thus we always have, as our one over-riding aim, the glory of God and the building-up of his Kingdom.
