About Us

St. Ann Convent is the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia's West coast retirement community, located in Tacoma, Washington.

We are members of the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, a Congregation of Catholic Sisters, founded in 1855.  We are committed to living the Gospel in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and the foundress of the congregation Mother Francis Buchmann.  This means that with Jesus as our Brother, we live as sister to one another, with the entire human family and with all creation.
