Our Congregation It was in the middle of the XIX century. In Portugal
as in the whole of Europe, everything is in a process of industrialization.
The impoverished multitudes become a source of cheap labor who are exploited
and sacrificed unscrupulously by the rich and the powerful. There is a
constant increase n increase of the socially challenged, victims of sickness
and epidemics, alcohol, illiteracy, moral degradation… The merciful and
providential glance of God sees the misery of the Portuguese people and
His spirit deposits seeds of the Gospel in the chosen and consecrated hearts
of: Raimundo Maria Ferreira da Silva Beirão and Libânia do Carmo Galvão
Mexia de Moura Teles e Albuquerque. The Congregation was founded in Portugal
in 1871.
Under the missionary zeal of Mother Maria Clara of Child Jesus and
Rev. Fr. Raimundo dos Anjos Beirão, the sisters traveled through Europe
and ventured out into the three continents of the world – Africa, Asia
and America to be the Franciscan Hospitaller presence and to build the
Tent of Hospitality in welcoming in Joy and Simplicity the children of
God through their service in the society and Church responding to the signs
of times. Presently the Sisters are serving in all the five Continents.
Our First Sisters from Portugal set foot on Indian soil on 24th May 1886
in Goa. From there, the Congregation spread to the different parts
of the country, caring for the various needs of the people through schools,
hospitals, homes for the elderly, crèches, orphanages, schools for the
mentally challenged and other social service centers living the charism
of our Congregation "LUCERE ET FOVERE - TO ILLUMINE AND TO WARM"

He was born in Lisbon, on March 8, 1810. At the age of 16 joins the Third
Order Regular of St. Francis of Assisi and takes the name of Friar Raimundo
dos Anjos Beirão. He is ordained as a Priest in 1833. Due to the impact
of Liberalism he’s forced to abandon the Convent and decides to dedicate
himself entirely to preaching, throughout the country. By the Decree of
May 6, of 1855, he’s declared Apostolic Missionary, Singer, Musician and
publishes some booklets with novenas and based on other religious themes.
In the beginning of his Priestly Life, he starts the Association of the
Sons of Saint Cajetan – boys whom he educates and who accompany him in
questing and distributing among the poor, the alms that were received.
The contact with misery causes him to dream about starting a Religious
Congregation that would minimize the suffering of the needy. Libânia do
Carmo is the instrument that God provides him for the realization of this
dream. He dies in the grace of God on the July 13th , 1878, surrounded
by the Religious Family founded by him.
The Students belonging to this House imitate their Patron with the same
zeal to be like their patron father. The Students celebrate the Red House
Feast on the 13th July .
The Church has publicly recognized the servant of the Lord, Sr. Maria
Clara do Menino Jesus, as blessed. Born in Amadora, on June 15, 1843, with
the name of Libânia do Carmo Galvão Mexia de Moura Telles e Albuquerque.
She was the daughter of Nuno Tomás de Mascarenhas Galvão Mexia de Moura
Telles e Albuquerque and of Maria da Purificação de Sá Carneiro Duarte
Ferreira.
As the third of the seven children of that noble and profoundly Christian
family, she was received with deep love. She lived a happy childhood and,
right from early days, began to open her heart to the loving presence of
God, helped by the Christian witness of her parents. When still an adolescent,
she suffered the terrible experience of becoming orphan of both parents.
she lives the adventure of progressive immersion in the mystery of Christ
and, participating in his compassion, she penetrates in the disconcerting
world of human suffering, to illuminate it with joy and to warm it with
the tenderness and mercy of God
After a protected and happy childhood in her adolescence she was visited
by deep and repeated sufferings. At that time, it was possible to perceive
the invitation of the Lord Jesus to the heart of Libania, calling her to
follow him by the paths of detachment of the franciscan life. She responds
to this appeal, by joining a small and unknown group of franciscan tertiaries,
whom Fr. Raimundo dos Anjos Beirão supported with spiritual and material
help. There, in a poor convent environment, Libania encounters the Christ
of Francis and Clare of Assisi, the poor, humble and crucified Lord. With
deep humility, she bent down before the dilacerating sufferings that affected
her. She did not lose either her joy or peace, she did not deviate from
the activities inherent to her mission and it was with dignity that she
carried them out. She did not quit from the commitment of doing everything
so that truth might shine out, because she learnt from her Master that
only truth sets us free.
St. Francis is one saint whom both Catholics and non-Catholics have united
in honoring. Certainly no other has so appealed to Protestants and even
to non-Christians. And the appeal is timeless: Francis captured the imagination
of his contemporaries as well as that of modern men by his unique simplicity
and a pure grace of spirit. A classic collection of popular legends, contains
charming and beautiful stories of Francis' love of the poor, of animals,
of all nature. In action he was original, in speech picturesque and poetic,
yet he was a man utterly inspired by faith in and devotion to the risen
Christ.
Saint Francis of Assisi, “the little beggar” is perhaps the most popular
saint in history. Francis was born in 1182 in Assisi, Italy and his baptismal
name was John, but his father renamed him Franceso, in honor of his love
for France. The son of a wealthy merchant, Francis had time and money to
host lavish banquets for young nobles who proclaimed him "King of Feasts."
Parties and selling cloth left Francis little time for God.
A handsome, charming and educated young man, he spent his early life leading
young nobles to parties. He dreamed of knighthood and longed for the adventurous
life of chivalry. In pursuit of that dream, he joined in the war between
Assisi and Perugia at the age of 20. Francis reportedly heard the voice
of Christ, who told him to repair the Christian Church and live a life
of poverty. A further call came in 1205, when, in a dramatic moment of
prayer in the abandoned Church of San Damiano, Francis heard a voice coming
from the crucifix which challenged him to rebuild the church. At first
he thought it meant that he should rebuild San Damiano, so he sold some
of his father's cloth to raise money to build the Church at San Damiano.
His father, who was already upset about the life he was leading, took him
to court, where was ordered him to pay back the money. Francis complied
with a dramatic gesture, renouncing his inheritance and handing his expensive
clothing to him as well. Dressed only in a workman's smock, he left town
and spent the next two years as a hermit, taking a vow of poverty and dedicating
his life his life to God. Francis begged for his food, wore old clothes,
and preached peace. He began to attract followers. Out of humility Francis
never accepted the priesthood but remained a deacon all his life. He had
a great love for animals. His ardent love of God merited him the name Seraphic.
Clare of Assisi was born into a wealthy Italian family but soon shunned
her luxurious upbringing to embrace the life of piety and poverty. Inspired
by the words of Francis of Assisi, Clare fled her home and joined Francis,
establishing her own religious order.Clare was born in Assisi, Italy, in
1193 to wealthy parents, and was taught to read and write as well as spin
yarn and do needlework.
She had little interest in her luxurious surroundings (she lived in a
palace), and influenced by her mother's religious devotion, Clare dedicated
her life to God at an early age. She also showed early on that her calling
would involve helping the poor, as she set aside food from her family table
to give to the needy on the streets.
As a child, Clare was devoted to prayer. From her earliest years Clare
seems to have been endowed with the rarest virtues. As a child she was
most devoted to prayer and to practices of mortification, and as she passed
into girlhood her distaste for the world and her yearning for a more spiritual
life increased. The inspired words of the Poverello kindled a flame in
the heart of Clare; she sought him out secretly and begged him to help
her that she too might live "after the manner of the holy Gospel". St.
Francis, who at once recognized in Clare one of those chosen souls destined
by God for great things, and who also, doubtless, foresaw that many would
follow her example, promised to assist her. Clare continued his work and
broadened her own influence. Clare died in 1253 and was canonized two years
later by Pope Alexander IV.
