Our Story
History of Saint Francis Nursing Home
Our Beginning
Saint Francis Nursing Home was founded in 1970 by the Seraphic Sisters, a community devoted to serving the sick, elderly, and those in need. Since its opening, the home has provided compassionate, faith-based care, honoring the dignity and well-being of every resident.
Over the decades, Saint Francis has grown into a multicultural and welcoming community, offering nursing care, independent living, and specialized housing for our Sisters.
The Seraphic Sisters
The Heart of Our Mission
The Seraphic Sisters (Daughters of Our Lady of Sorrows) were founded in Poland by Blessed Honorat Koźmiński and Blessed Mother Małgorzata Szewczyk.
Guided by the Franciscan values of humility, simplicity, and service, the Sisters dedicate their lives to the care of the sick, elderly, and disadvantaged. Their presence and devotion are the foundation of everything we do at Saint Francis Nursing Home.
Multicultural & Polish Language
Celebrating our Heritage
Polish
Saint Francis Nursing Home jest prowadzony przez Zgromadzenie Córek Matki Bożej Bolesnej (Serafitki), założone przez Bł. O. Honorata Koźmińskiego i Bł. M. Małgorzatę Szewczyk.
Siostry troszczą się o duchowe i fizyczne dobro starszych i chorych osób. Wielokulturowość jest tu charakterystyczną cechą zarówno wśród podopiecznych, jak i personelu. Ponadto w San Antonio w naszym domu prowadzone są rekolekcje, na które przybywają różne grupy korzystając ze sprzyjającego otoczenia, możliwości adoracji Najśw. Sakramentu, a przy okazji niektórzy mogą obejrzeć muzeum, w którym również dużo miejsca poświęconego jest Polsce. Zapraszamy do kontaktu w jezyku polskim!
