Community Engagement

Volunteer

A Franciscan Justice Circle is a community of spiritually rooted, justice-minded people who come together to:

  • Reflect on the intersection of faith, justice, and creation care

  • Share opportunities for service and advocacy in our local community

  • Support one another in living out compassionate, Franciscan-inspired values in everyday life

This new Circle is intended to be ecumenical and welcoming to people of all faith backgrounds (and those simply curious). There is no requirement to be Franciscan or even Christian — we just ask for an openness to conversation, reflection, and action grounded in love, humility, and justice..
