FMS: Where lay people work for peace, justice, and hope. As an international lay Franciscan mission program in North America, FMS helps 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.
Sunday Souposium - May 20
Come join FMS for soup, bread and fellowship at our fourth monthly Sunday Souposium! We look forward to regularly gathering a community of Franciscan-hearted people in the DC area.
Marie Dennis, co-president of Pax Christi International, will lead a
short reflection, to be followed by small group discussions.
Please RSVP by May 18 so we know how much food to prepare! The event is free, but free-will donations will be accepted. Please direct questions to paul@franciscanmissionservice.org.
If you're driving, street parking is available. If you're taking the Metro, we're on the Red line at the Brookland/CUA stop.
Join us for Discernment Days - This Summer
We're excited to invite potential missioners who have completed the first two phases of the application (initial application, resume, essay, five reference forms) to our next Discernment Days. It's an opportunity for potential missioners to further their discernment by learning more about FMS and the Franciscan mission charism, as well as meeting with our staff and returned missioners.
