ALTON - The Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George will mark the convent’s 100th anniversary with a Mass and blessing.

They are excited to celebrate the 100th anniversary later this week. They also have an open house to be scheduled later this fall. “This is the jubilee year of hope,” said Sister Beata Ziegler. “Our jubilee corresponds with hope. I think, when we look at Jesus’s sacrifice and our participation in it, it is hope for the world. Our world is in desperate need of goodness and of really being able to understand their dignity and worth, and that is something, through our healthcare apostolate, I believe we can really give.” On April 22, 2025, Bishop Thomas John Paprocki will perform an Anniversary Mass at 11 a.m. at the OSF St. Anthony’s Chapel.
