The School Sisters of St. Francis were
founded in 1874. The Sisters came to Wisconsin
from Germany and taught young women. Soon many
joined the Sisters and the Community flourished
to over 4,000 in 1964. The Sisters follow the
Rule of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis
and their own Constitutions. They serve in the
United States, Central America, Germany, and
India. Some of the Sisters staffed the former
Presentation Parish Schools in Bellwood,
Nebraska, until they died in a fatal car
accident. One Sister worked with Catholic Social
Services during the Cuban refugee crisis.
Presently, there are two Sisters working in
education and for the Bishop.
