Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity Sponsored Ministries

The Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity Sponsored Ministries is a nonstock, not-for-profit corporation that was established in 1985 (formerly named Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity HealthCare Ministry) to monitor and manage the health care ministry of the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity. The health care ministry spans three states—Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ohio—and has existed for over one hundred years. In 2012, the name was changed to Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity Sponsored Ministries to reflect the addition of the congregation's Holy Family College, located in Manitowoc, Wis., to the corporation.
