Our Mission
Expressing Christ’s love by providing care that values every human life
At St. Francis Health Services, We Serve with Spirit and Compassion
Providing health, residential, community, and allied services holistically, competently, and with care
Our mission is simple.
Since our origins in 1963, where we began providing senior living in Morris, Minnesota, St. Francis Health Services has sought to be a “community that provides healthcare to those who need it…animated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and guided by the moral tradition of the Church.” Throughout our long history, our senior living communities and care centers have remained committed to expressing Christ’s message of love and hope by providing health, residential, community and allied services across Minnesota in a holistic, competent, and caring manner.


As a nonprofit organization, we are honored to serve with the support of a robust network of donors, volunteers, and staff, under the sponsorship of the Catholic Diocese of St. Cloud. From senior housing to skilled nursing care, our services are designed to support every resident’s dignity and humanity. We are proud to provide health, residential, and behavioral services across Minnesota with compassion and care. Our services include:
Our mission at St. Francis is rooted in mutual respect and the compassion of Christ. Our core values that uphold this mission are:
At St. Francis, our values are not just empty words — they’re reflected in everything we do. Everyone across our organization is guided by them, from our staff to our volunteers, to our board of directors. We hire kind, loyal, empathetic care workers who find it easy to connect with residents on a deeper level. And we remain united in the singular mission to create peaceful, pleasant, life-affirming communities and care centers where residents know they are valued.
