Conventual Community of Saint Francis
Columbus, Ohio,
United States
St Francis in Stone
 Peace to you! We are an ecumenical community of sisters and brothers living a common life in community rooted in the ethos of St Francis of Assisi. While working in the world in our various occupations, we share a common vocation, similar in ideal to that of the Missionaries of Charity: We are servants of the poor, the outcast, and the forgotten.
