Franciscan Sisters

The Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a religious institute of apostolic life aggregated to the Order of the Friars Minor.

The Order was founded in Gozo by Rev. Joseph Diacono and Virginia Debrincat who, as a Franciscan Sister, took the name of Sr Margherita of the Sacred Heart.  The Congregation follows the rule of the Third Order Regular of St Francis.
Currently there are three sisters residing at the Seminary convent; Mother Superior Sr Giuseppina Farrugia, Sr Clementia Borg and Sr Shanti Perbo.
