Meet the Sisters...

The Little Sisters of St. Francis minister to individuals with special needs especially those with intellectual challenges and physical disabilities. This calling of lay Franciscans through the Catholic Network of volunteer services came together to address individuals with special needs, this joint effort was named the Franciscan Brethren of St. Philip Inc. The combining of the efforts of the Little Sisters of St. Francis and the Franciscan Brethren of St. Philip under one banner allowed for a more adherent focus and centralized effort to care for those with extreme special needs who have no other options to turn to. Under this new banner our non-sectarian, non-profit, state certified organization, which is licensed by the Virginia Social Services, Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disabilities, (mental Retardation and Mental Health) and the Department of Motor Vehicles and Logistic Care. Our organization operates six facilities that handle the needs of mentally challenged individuals as well as seniors on very limited budgets.
