Nuns & Nones


The Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart invite you Nuns & Nones, a monthly intergenerational gathering of spiritually diverse men and women with no particular religious affiliation. We meet on the third Monday of each month, 6:00-7:30 p.m. at the Motherhouse, 9201 W St Francis Road, Frankfort, IL.  Just email Sr. Kathleen at sisters@fssh.net to let us know if you would like to attend so we will plan for enough food and have a seat for you! 


Nuns & Nones  is a movement gaining momentum across the U.S.A., knowing we all have something unique to share

and something to learn from one another.


This movement is:

  • an intergenerational gathering of Catholic sisters & spiritually diverse individuals

  • an opportunity to share personal passions and topics of interest

  • a partnership for creating solidarity and social action

  • that can make a difference in our society

  • a way to energize and feed one’s inner spirit.


“The truly poor in spirit, following the example of the Lord, live in this world as pilgrims and strangers.” 

 (TOR Rule Ch. VI-22)


Like Francis and Clare, we journey in the footprints of Jesus through simple, Gospel living...

  • gathering in fraternitas (community) with Jesus as our brother
  • being a welcoming and joyful presence
  • placing our incompleteness in God's transforming heart
  • embracing diversity in our life and ministries
  • furthering the new reign of God
