Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement ~ An apostolic congregation of women religious in the Roman Catholic Church who profess the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience. Inspired by our charism of unity, we 'Joy in God' as we continue the legacy of our Founders (Mother Lurana White & Father Paul Wattson) as women of peace & reconciliation striving to transform a culture of poverty and alienation in accordance with the Gospel. Inflamed by the Spirit, we seek to share & nurture unity-in-diversity among ourselves and among all the human family. In simplicity and joy, we journey forward in confident hope as we enkindle this vision. We choose to live this with JOY!
