| Sisters of St. Francis (Glen Riddle, PA) |
| The congregation originated in 1855 in the city of Philadelphia. Faced with growing problems in his diocese, Bishop John W. Neumann looked to enlist the services of European Sisters. Pope Pius IX counseled the bishop to found an American community from within the ranks of his own flock. The community tends to the needs of others and has foundations throughout the country, including posts in Ireland and Puerto Rico. |
