Enjoy the Good News in its new and improved format!
The purpose of the Good News is to further the Gospel mission of the sisters by sharing the good news of the congregation with our friends, family, companions, and sisters. Through this publication we share the charism of the congregation and invite others to become involved in our mission.
After ten successful years, of printing in the old style—larger format, two color version, we decided it was time for a change. The reasoning behind this change was two-fold: first, the cost savings are considerable because we have opted for a more standard size, even though we are now printing in full color. And second, people have commented that a smaller size would be easier to handle, read, and store.
Good News is published three times a year (spring, summer, winter) by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. We welcome your feedback.
