The Sisters of  Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration is 
               an international congregation of Sisters from  Germany, the United
               States, the Philippine Islands and Brazil. 

               Sister Maria Theresia Bonzel's small community founded in Olpe,
               Germany, expanded to the United States in 1875 and settled in
               Lafayette, Indiana.  By 1941 the community had grown sufficiently 
               to warrant the establishment of a second Province in Colorado.  

               Mount  Saint  Francis,  home of the Saint Joseph Province of The
               Sisters of Saint  Francis of  Perpetual  Adoration, is located in the
               Pike's  Peak  region  of  Colorado  in  Colorado  Springs.  Its 137
               acres are nestled in  the  foothills  of  the  Rampart  Range  of  the
               Colorado Rocky Mountains.  
    
               Our  Motherhouse  is  home  for  the  Formation  Program  of  our 
               Province in  which  women  discern a vocation  to  our  Community  
               and  prepare  to  dedicate  their  lives  to God  as  vowed  members of our   Community.   It  is  also  home 
               for  our Sisters  actively  engaged   in the  various  ministries centered at Mount Saint Francis and for our
               retired Sisters.
