Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Overseas Lay Missioner Program
FMS has missioners in Bolivia and Jamaica serving in a variety of areas. Living in the spirit of St. Francis, our missioners live in solidarity with the impoverished and marginalized communities of these countries, with a focus on providing a ministry of presence to all they encounter.
DC Service Corps
Our DC Service Corps program allows recent graduates to have a meaningful year of direct service in Washington D.C. Volunteers have the opportunity to serve directly in the DC area through different organizations including Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School, the Father McKenna Center, and the United States Catholic Mission Association. Additionally, volunteers can work directly in the FMS office as associates. Please see our website for more information!
Short Term Mission and Global Awareness Program
Since our founding days, Franciscan Mission Service has been committed to proper preparation for mission. Our long-term program provides 14 weeks of full-time training before our missioners depart. Our short-term program will provide pre-departure preparation as well. Depending upon the group, we will either provide materials or guide a weekend preparation retreat. And just like our long-term program, we will offer re-entry materials and/or facilitation to help process the learning after the experience.
Like our long-term missioners, those who go on short-term trips will learn how to share their experience and the social realities of the host country with their own communities upon returning to the U.S. We believe the experience of mission gives all people the potential to transform North American societies and churches and to act as advocates for peace, justice, reconciliation and care for creation.
