Every religious order has its own
charism or mission. The Capuchin-Franciscan charism
is to build sister-brotherhood, inspired by Jesus'
gospel and Francis of Assisi's example, as often as
and wherever possible. This leads Capuchins to be
involved in a great diversity of ministries, since
every area of church life and ministry needs the
healing touch of wholesome relationships. Capuchins
are drawn strongly to the places and people whose
relationships are particularly fragile and
vulnerable. Thus, many Capuchins minister among poor
and marginalized people.
Further, the needs of the poor and the demands of justice shape all Capuchin ministries. Capuchins work to promote the equality of all people within the Capuchin Order, the Catholic Church, and the world. In the words of Fr. Solanus Casey [1870-1957], a Detroit Capuchin who is being considered for sainthood, “To be children of God, we must be lovers of justice, truth, and peace.”
We list below the ministries of the
Capuchin Province of St. Joseph in the upper Midwest of the USA. Sponsored ministries are
those owned and operated by the province itself. Supported ministries are not owned by the province, but
receive the support of the province through personnel or financial
assistance.
