Apart from Christ, we can do nothing (Jn 15:5). Therefore, we make our service in the apostolate an expression of our love for Christ and one another. We cultivate and utilize our God- given talents for the glory of God, the advancement of the Church and the good of our community because the gifts of the Spirit are given to each one for the common good.

In the 12th century, God gave Saint Francis of Assisi the command to "Rebuild My Church as you see it is in ruin." Today, as Franciscans and followers of Saint Francis, we take this mandate seriously. We rebuild God's Church through the ministries we are involved in.  

Some of the ministries are...

• catholic school teachers and aides
• directors of religious education
• spiritual directors
• retreat directors
• youth ministers
• vocation directors
