Mother Seraphina (Francesca Farolfi) was born on October 7, 1853 at Tossignano in Imola, Italy.

Seraphina envisioned the Institute of the CFMSS as an evangelizing community nurtured by the contemplation of the Eucharistic Lord and carrying His redeeming love to all those awaiting His healing touch. “Let theClarist Franciscan Missionaries of the Most Blessed Sacrament be recognized by their ardent and vibrant love for the Eucharist.”
