The Franciscan Volunteer Ministry provides a setting for volunteers to grow in faith, love, and hope by serving the poor and working for social justice.

We aim to foster Gospel-based communities as a witness to our faith through prayer and a simple lifestyle.

We encourage our volunteers as lay people to become leaders in their faith by working with Franciscan Friars of Holy Name Province, and Franciscan Sisters and laity in ministry.

We provide a setting where gifts and talents are exchanged with the people of God in a loving and joyful Franciscan spirit, always being aware of how much we can learn from and are blessed by the poor.
