Liberia Mission was founded in 2003, just as the dust was settling from the Second Civil War. The Mission consists of a secure 10-acre campus and an adjoining 15-acre farm property. The main campus houses St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School for preschool-high school, St. Michael the Archangel Chapel that welcomes and serves the community at large, a student-run piggery, residential homes, and accommodations for program managers and volunteers.

Happy Monday! How can we pray for you this week? 🙏🏽

Flomo was born and raised in a remote Liberian village called Ganglota Town in Lofa County. There were not many opportunities to receive an education. There was no running water, no assurance of good food, and no access to even the most basic medical care. The first ten years of Flomo’s life were marked by the deadly Liberian Civil War.

When Flomo came to Liberia Mission in 2008 and someone chose to sponsor him, his life changed forever. Watch Flomo tell his incredible story of going from a beneficiary of Liberia Mission to Assistant Director, a journey made possible thanks to the generosity and support of his sponsors.

By becoming a sponsor, you can transform the life of a child in poverty, just like Flomo's sponsors. 💛 Learn more about our child sponsorship program: https://www.franciscanworks.org/sponsor
