CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances History
Frances Siedliska, a Polish noblewoman, born to a cultured and wealthy family near Warsaw in 1842, felt called to dedicate her life to God in the service of others. She became the namesake of the hospital and founded the Congregation of the Holy Family of Nazareth in 1875. Mother Frances gathered together with other young women to found an order, which spread quickly throughout the world.
