Capuchin Family Ministries Summer Experiences provide a launching pad for a faith-based personal and global outlook. Our service to those in need is nurtured by lively celebrations of the Eucharist, where we gather, proclaim, break, and send. Our programs enhance a sense of purpose and community involvement and foster our inherent desire to contribute. These experiences are journies of spiritual formation, service, and community involvement, where youth and campus ministers, parents, teens, laity, friars, and religious accompany and inspire the community as a whole. Teens (rising 9th grade +), young adults, parents, friars, and families find joy in service together. See details below & atcyfm.org; early bird and group discounts expire soon, and spots are limited!
