| |  LAY MISSION PROGRAMFranciscan 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.
Franciscan lay missioners share the gospel message by living the charism of Francis of Assisi who built bridges between cultures and peoples. Upon return from the mission field, FMS missioners take on the status of “Lifelong Missioners to North America”. Our focus on the importance of mission to North America is a unique aspect of our program and the reason we limit missioner service overseas to between three and six years. Our returned missioners commit to utilizing their cross-cultural mission experience to live the gospel message of peace and justice in the North American Church and society.
