Franciscan Life Center

he Franciscan Life Center offers a renewed sense of hope through counseling and educational services. Founded and operated by the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, the center quietly effects change in the hearts of men and women looking for perspective and purpose in their lives.

Located in rural Connecticut, the campus lends itself to quiet reflection and spiritual integration. Beautifully landscaped grounds, ponds, and walking paths create a tranquil atmosphere in all seasons. The Center is licensed by the State of Connecticut as an Outpatient Mental Health Facility.

The Franciscan Life Center was founded by Mother Shaun Vergauwen, FSE, in 1974. Her vision for a counseling center grew out of her work among the peoples of the region. She discovered that individuals and families desired to enrich their lives and to grow personally, psychologically and spiritually.
