Fill out the application for St. Francis Builds
A note from Father Mike:
In 2005 I founded a mission program called St Francis Builds (SFM). It is designed to be part Franciscan retreat, part construction project. Since its inception hundreds of people have journeyed with us on over forty missions to build/rebuild homes and schools in ten different countries and a host of states as a way of living out the words attributed to Francis, “Preach the Gospel at all times, use words only when necessary”. These trips move people outside their comfort zones to have an incredible experience of the Spirit in community and in the process create for families a decent place to live. These trips are multigenerational, multicultural, and frequently include folks of different faiths.
