Obituary Archives
for the U.S. Province

Obituaries for many members of the School Sisters of St. Francis are available online through this listing, but it does not include all Sisters who have been part of our community over more than a century of service in the United States. While we are working to digitize more obituaries for addition to this website, it is a lengthy process. If you have an urgent need for information about a particular Sister, we welcome you to contact us at administrationusa@schoolsistersosf.org or 412-761-2855.
