In the 2026 Spring Perspectives issue, we reflect on the return of Marywood — FSPA's former Franciscan spirituality center on Trout Lake in Arbor Vitae, Wisconsin — to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians.

"This return represents more than the restoration of land; it is the restoration of balance, dignity and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked. The Franciscan Sisters’ act of generosity and courage stands as an example of what true healing and partnership can look like." — President John D. Johnson, Sr.

Earlier this month, we gathered in Mary of the Angels Chapel to welcome four new affiliates and three new prayer partners to the FSPA community!

During the ceremony, we also recognized seven affiliates celebrating anniversary milestones in 2026. Together, these individuals represent 100 years of service to the FSPA affiliation community.

Congratulations to all!

What will it take to bring Franciscan love and joy into a world of uncertainty? As our gathering continues, sisters and affiliates, with our partners in prayer and mission, in relationship with the global community, are finding hope in the love and joy that will fuel the FSPA mission and ministries for the next four years.
