The mission of FrancisCorps is Gospel Service. As brother and sisters to those in need, FrancisCorps volunteers share their gifts and talents in a year-long, faith-based community in the spirit of
Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi.
FrancisCorps volunteers share a process of personal and spiritual growth with one another and the local community in collaboration with the Conventual Franciscan Friars in Syracuse, NY and San Jose, Costa Rica, the Sisters of St. Francis, the Poor Clares of Chesterfield, NJ, Catholic Charities, Franciscan Collaborative Ministries, L'Arche and the Asian Apostolate of Syracuse, New York.
"Preach the Gospel. If necessary use words." - St. Francis of Assisi
