Felician Sisters of North America

The Felician Sisters of North America is a nonprofit with headquarters in North Sewickley Township (Beaver Falls area), approximately 20 minutes west of Cranberry Township in Pennsylvania.  The Felician Sisters are an international community of more than 1,000 vowed women religious across four continents. We have convents and a presence in the United States, Canada, Haiti, Brazil, Poland, Italy, England, France, Kenya, Estonia, Russia, Ukraine, and the Amazon.  The Sisters are led by the Provincial Council which is the executive leadership team of sisters who oversee the operations of the Our Lady of Hope Province in North America.   As dedicated employees and caregivers of the Felician Sisters and their residents, we promote the dignity of each person, by caring for the needs of the whole person, and by providing a safe, functional and attractive home environment. Our employees care for our sisters in their convent homes. This includes health services staff who provide direct care, employees who maintain the convent buildings and grounds and various departments that support the work of the Felician Sisters (e.g. IT, Marketing, Communications, Development, HR, Accounting,)
