"I found Him who my soul loves."

The Seraphic Adorers of the Child Jesus  is a contemplative community of women in the Diocese of La Crosse, WI, whose lives are dedicated to adoration of our Eucharistic King. The community lives a simple and joyful Franciscan way of life.

The sisters are consecrated to the Divine Child Jesus, King of Love, and strive to daily grow in the virtues of His Most Sacred Heart. They also intercede in His Eucharistic Presence for the needs of the Church, the world, all priests, and those who send their intentions or ask the sisters to pray for them.

Sacred Heart

Over 2000 years ago, Jesus walked along the Sea of Galilee and called His apostles to Himself saying, "Come follow Me." Today Jesus stands at the door of hearts, whispering the same call, "Come follow Me!" The harvest is great, but the laborers are few, so we must pray that the Lord sends out many workers into His harvest. 

Franciscan Community Life

 "Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves, so that He Who gives Himself totally to you, may receive you totally!"

Our Seraphic Father Francis

As followers of our Seraphic Father Francis, the sisters give witness to a life that is dependent on Divine Providence, centered on Jesus in the Eucharist and bound together by familial charity, simplicity and joy. We profess the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, and as a sign of our consecration, we wear a full-length dark blue habit with the scapular, veil, Franciscan cord and rosary. It reminds us that we are one family in the Lord.

Franciscan joy comes from knowing the Love of Christ and trusting in His personal love for us. We strive to grow daily in love so as to be transformed into the Beloved. This is not the work of a day, but of a lifetime. 

Sisters in Christ

The sisters aim towards truly being “sisters in Christ” and strive to lovingly support each other in living out their religious vocation. We strive to have a loving and wholesome community life with a spirit of Franciscan joy and camaraderie. 

“The more the members of a religious community are bound to one another by bonds of deep friendship and love, the more that community embodies the reality of the Church as the 'sacrament of salvation'”. (LG 48).

Come, Follow Me.
