Volunteer Information

Workdays with Franciscan Sisters provide an opportunity to work with the Sisters, Franciscan Apprentices and other volunteers on service projects at the Center. Community Workdays are generally held the second Saturday of the months of April through November. Projects include land maintenance, harvesting, canning produce, farm chores, and a variety of seasonal tasks.

The program, inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi’s philosophy and practice, helps individuals accept each other as unique beings as they learn about life on a working farm. Working alongside the Franciscan Sisters, volunteers gain a deeper understanding of nature, of the Catholic faith and God’s place in their lives.

Workdays are open to individuals, families, and church and business groups. Lunch is served for all who wish at noon. No childcare is available.

Available Dates:

May 1, June 8

August 10, September 14, October 12, November 9
