The Franciscan Sisters of Allegany were the first American founded congregation to send sisters to the foreign missions. They minister to those in need, especially the underprivileged, the undernourished, the marginalized and to victims of injustice and violence. Funds to support the missions where our sisters work and volunteer are solicited through the efforts of the St. Elizabeth Mission Society. The congregation continues to respond to the overwhelming needs of our brothers and sisters through education, health care, and social ministries in Jamaica, Brazil, Mozambique, Bolivia, and the United States.
