According to Webster’s Dictionary, a “Founder is an originator of an institution”.  In 1949, the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary started the hospital under the patronage of St. Francis of Assisi.  The Founder of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary is Helene de Chappotin and in November she is remembered.  Thus, we celebrate Founders’ Day at Franciscan Children’s.

In the spirit of Helene de Chappotin and our “founders’” spirit of love and service, our Senior Management will serve lunch to all employees in our cafeteria.
