A career at the Franciscan Life Process Center starts with a belief in the inherent value of each human life and a commitment to support the education, development and cultural enrichment of individuals and communities throughout West Michigan.

As a member of our team, you will work alongside the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, who moved to West Michigan in 1971 to serve the community. You do not have to be Catholic to work at the Center, but you must understand, respect and support the mission of the sisters, who uphold the teachings of the Catholic Church in their lives and in their work.

Our Lowell campus is 230 acres with 3.5 acres of walking trails, a disc golf course and beautiful gardens for all to enjoy. While a short drive from downtown Grand Rapids, our Lowell campus feels a world away from the flurry of modern life. We offer all of our programs and services in Lowell, a working farm the sisters also call home.
Our Grand Rapids campus is located in the heart of the community and embraces the high-wattage energy of the city. We offer music therapy and counseling services in this location, which also provides a great base for therapists who meet clients in the community.
