The function of the Soeurs de Saint-François d’Assise is to provide charitable work while spreading Catholicism.

Les Soeurs de Saint-François d'Assise were originally founded in Lyon, France as a prayer group by Anne Rollet. In 1904, a pastor in Beuceville, Quebec invited the sisters to a parish to help run a hospital, which they accepted as there was revolutionary unrest in France at that time. While this partnership ended several years later, the sisters continued to expand in Quebec, where they helped run convents, hospitals, sanatoriums, and schools. During the Residential School System, the sisters worked the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate to run Amos Residential School. After the sisters were named as one of the Catholic entities in the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA), they worked with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada to provide relevant documents for their role in the Residential School System.
