Mission Statement
The mission of the Franciscan Community Volunteers is to invite young adults into a process of companionship with the poor in the spirit of Saints Francis and Clare.
Description
Franciscan Community Volunteers are committed Christians, ages 21-30. They seek to fulfill this mission through a 11-month program of direct service and advocacy with those who are poor and share community living supported by prayer, reflection and discussion on the Gospel. As a unique experience in the Catholic tradition, the volunteers will not only serve those living in the margins, but also discover some of the ways in which poor people reveal the message of the Gospel. Franciscan Community Volunteers work in cooperation with and share the charism of the Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls, Minnesota. The Franciscan Community Volunteer Program is located in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
