Volunteers in Mission
Volunteers in Mission, (VIM), is a volunteer program with service sites worldwide.
VIM is sponsored by the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters. Volunteers continue in the Sisters' mission and commit to compassionate service, global justice, a simple life style, and spiritual growth to work together to create a better world.
Founded in 2008, VIM is a ministry program in which men and women work with and among poor and marginalized people. Our volunteers commit themselves to the values of service, global justice, and spiritual growth in a faith community sharing the charism of the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters.
Volunteers are involved in:
- Ministering in retreat centers
- Serving in soup kitchens and shelters
- Working with women recently released from prison and rehab centers
- Sharing individual talents and gifts with those less fortunate
