Franciscan Life Center: Land Program

Land Program

The Franciscan Community Service-based Land Program was established by the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist as a volunteer service program for young people who are seeking:

opportunities to pursue personal growth,

a chance to learn new skills,

a place to meet new people,

a deeper understanding of the Catholic Faith.

The core of the program comprises daily manual work experiences with soil, plants and animals under the direction of a master. The program gives the participants a unique combination of experiences:

Development of problem solving and socialization skills through day to day interaction with a peer group.

Participation in various intergenerational service projects that stem from the mission of the Franciscan Sisters and the people they serve.

Integration meetings where analogies are made from simple processes found in nature to personal growth in relationship to God, oneself and others.

Opportunities for counseling.

Participation in educational programs, classes and seminars sponsored by the Franciscan Life Center.

Study of pertinent theological books and documents.

Participation in Morning and Evening Prayer and daily Mass.
