Franciscan Mission Service
As an international lay Franciscan mission program in North America, Franciscan Mission Service helps American and Canadian Catholics prepare to serve on two-year international, one-year domestic and short-term mission opportunities. Missioners live a simple life in solidarity with their partners: the poor and oppressed in Africa, Latin America, North America and the Caribbean.
As Franciscan followers of Christ, we build partnerships with Catholic women and men who are inspired to live and serve in solidarity with economically poor communities across the globe – and to bring the transformative experience of mission to North American societies and churches as advocates for peace, justice, reconciliation and care of creation.
