The Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate founded our sponsored institutions.  Today our Sisters can be found serving on the faculties, executive and administrative staffs, and the boards of the institutions.

University of St. Francis
Founded in 1920, it eventually became the College of St. Francis in 1930. Today over 1,600 men and women attend classes at the University of St. Francis campus in Joliet, Illinois, and another 2,100 are enrolled in off-campus classes at locations throughout the United States.

Joliet Catholic Academy
The result of the merger of St. Francis Academy and Joliet Catholic High School in 1990, Joliet Catholic Academy is a college-preparatory high school sponsored jointly by the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate and the Carmelites to prepare young adults for college and for life.  The focus of JCA is on challenging students to grow intellectually, spiritually, morally, emotionally, physically and socially.

San Damiano School
Located in Goiânia, Brazil, Instituto San Damiano, was founded in response to the needs of the community.  The school opened in 1970 with 100 students.  Today, more than 900 children receive an elementary school education at the school.
