Franciscans For The Poor
A Ministry of the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor
The Franciscans for the Poor offer a Summer Youth Program and an Alternative Spring Break that provides adults, college students, junior high and high school youth groups and their chaperones, the unique opportunity to serve those persons less fortunate in the Franciscan tradition throughout the Greater Cincinnati area.
Individuals or groups make a one-week commitment and live in community, sharing a simple lifestyle of service and prayer.
The goal of the week is to provide all participants with a culturally diverse experience with times for group and individual prayer activity and a chance to live a simple lifestyle.
Service projects are geared to the skills and talents of the individuals. Training is provided and all projects are supervised.
