Sponsorship

Sponsorship is an ongoing public relationship that the Wheaton Franciscans have with a corporate entity for the purpose of fulfilling the mission of the Church.

Sponsorship is exercised through responsibility and authority to determine and influence Mission, Vision, Values and management philosophy, governance structures, leadership selection, strategic planning, resource allocation, operating policies, and education resources.

The Sponsorship Member Board’s role is to exercise the Sponsorship authority of the Wheaton Franciscan Provincial Council as delegated to them. They exercise their role by influencing, stewarding and evaluating how outcomes and services achieved by corporate ministries directly respond to the Wheaton Franciscan Sisters’ mission: “In the spirit of Francis of Assisi and our foundress, Clara Pfaender, the mission of our Province is to live the Gospel life, discovered in prayer and community. Through loving presence and service, we foster personal and community growth as we respond to the needs of the church and the times” (Book of the Province, BP 5). The Sponsorship Member Board works with the WFSI Board of Directors and many others to fulfill their role.
