Who are the FMSA
Welcome to the official website of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa. The Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa is a Roman Catholic international missionary congregation founded by Teresa Kearney, more commonly known as Mother Kevin or Mama Kevina. As members of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis of Assisi, we make a life-long commitment. Spirituality, Community and Service are integral to our Gospel way of life.
We currently have members in Uganda, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Sudan, America and Ireland. Africa has always been the major focus for our work, but wherever we are, we have a particular concern for the most needy and marginalized members of society.
Having served in Africa since 1903, we have been privileged to work with many local people and communities in helping them build their capacity to develop in ways that honour their dignity and address their needs. Our endeavours have been made possible through the support of Parish communities, individual benefactors and donor agencies
