I am a Felician Sister from Chicago. I routinely have a google alert for "felician" and the other day "felician house" came up. I had wondered how a bed and breakfast got the name Felician House, and your history page explained it well. I do a lot of work with computers and noticed something on your "Where Are We" page that is not quite correct. In the body of the text Felician is spelled Felecian. It's interesting that felician is interpreted meaning "friendship", that's a good interpretation of it. The Felician Sisters got their name when the first sisters used to take children to see a shrine to St. Felix of Cantalice, a patron saint of children, and the people gave the name to the sisters the Sisters of St. Felix. Felix also means "joy" and "happy" in Latin. If you want, I can send you some stories about St. Felix who lived about 450 years ago in Italy.
