Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady
Addresses
Members of the Congregation

Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady, FMOL

The Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady were in Ethiopia as early as the year 1910.  They were known as Soeurs Franciscaines de Calais from the name of the town where the Congregation began in the north of France.  Later on the Mother House was moved to Deserves and the former name was changed to the present one.

When they first came to Ethiopia they settled in Harar town where they helped Abuna Andreas Jarosseau to start the Congregation of the Soeurs Oblates de Marie Immaculate.  From there they opened several convents in the Province of Harar.  They also had two convents in Addis Ababa, one near Cathedral and one near Kebena, three houses in Gurage and one in Arsi.

They returned to Ethiopia in 1957 at the invitation of Monsignor Person.  At present they have Novitiate in Nazareth and one community.  The other communities are two in Wolaita, one in Emdibir, one in Wonji, one in Midagdu, one in Metahara, one in Mectha and one in Debre Zeit and one in Addis Ababa which is the Regional House.  We also work on pastoral, education and health activities jointly with different vicariates.
