Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist

The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist is a Roman Catholic religious congregation for women. The mother house is in Meriden, Connecticut in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford.

The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist came into existence on December 2, 1973 as a result of a period of renewal within the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration of La Crosse, Wisconsin. [ [http://www.fsecommunity.org/story.html Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist: Our Story ] ] In 2002, the Franciscan Brothers of the Eucharist was founded as a complement to the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist.

The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, at one time, owned and operated a ferry and store on Shaw Island part of the San Juan Islands in the state of Washington. [ [http://www.fsecommunity.org/centers/shaw.html Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist: Shaw Island ] ]

The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist share the original founders with the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi of St. Francis, Wisconsin.
