Partnering to Build Global CommunityFranciscan Mission Service provides Catholic lay women and men the opportunity to serve and partner with poor and oppressed communities around the world. We train, commission, and support missioners to serve others in a way that is respectful and honoring of cultural, religious, and personal differences. Through our organization's mission, we continue the charism of the Franciscan family which has served in foreign lands since St. Francis himself went on mission to Egypt in 1219. Initially, the lay missioners may not have extensive knowledge of the Franciscan charism; however, prospective missioners need only show an openness to the Franciscan values of service to the marginalized, simplicity of lifestyle, and the desire to work actively for justice, peace, and integrity of all creation. After 3-6 years of service overseas, our returned missioners commit to a lifelong mission of social change in North America, serving in the places where they feel called.
We are currently accepting applications for Fall 2010.
Priority deadline is March 1, 2010.
