“For St. Francis, it wasn’t just knowing and believing in the Gospel. It was taking the great leap of faith to live out those teachings even when it was difficult or inconvenient.” - Nicole

Diana, what has it been like praying with your community every single day?

“After prayer most nights, I find myself feeling the need to thank the girls for the prayer they’ve prepared. Every night has looked different, some nights like the one pictured above, a simple prayer around the dinner table. Other nights are a scripture reading that spoke to one of us and reflection and prayer (one of my favorites). I feel so blessed because praying in community is so fulfilling. I love my roommates and seeing God move through them is beautiful.” - Diana

Elizabeth, where are you serving this year and in these first few months, what have you been doing to serve those in need?

“This year, I am serving as a caregiver at Francis House where I have the opportunity to provide compassionate, individualized care to residents and their families. In these first few months, I have assisted residents with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, oral and skin care, meals, and supporting their mobility through physical transfers. I keep thorough records of care and observations to help support the larger Francis House care team and ensure that each resident’s needs are being thoughtfully met. Alongside these daily tasks, I offer companionship and a comforting presence. I’ve had the privilege of listening to stories, holding a hand, exchanging laughs, and simply sitting quietly with residents when they need it most.” -Elizabeth

We want to wish everyone a Happy Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi! 🙏

We have had such a blessed and joyful time celebrating the life of this amazing saint! It started yesterday evening with Transitus, a commemoration of the death of St. Francis and his journey from this earthly life to his eternal life in heaven. Then today we celebrated mass in the morning and this evening we joined the friars from St. Francis Friary here in Syracuse for evening prayer and dinner.

At each event we were reminded in the prayers and community gathered that, even as we celebrate the 800th anniversary of his death, the spirit of St. Francis is very much alive in the kindness, joy and gratitude we show and share with one another.

A huge thank you to the friars of St. Francis Friary Syracuse for their Franciscan hospitality this evening.

Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us! 🙏

“... I discovered FrancisCorps, and it felt like everything I had been praying for had come together in one place. Looking back, I can see God’s gentle guidance in bringing me here. Strengthening my relationship with God was my priority, but the FrancisCorps mission helped me realize that serving others was the path I wanted to take to do so. ” - Erica

What is Community Night? The volunteer community is part of a much larger community here in Syracuse. This extended community includes the staff of FrancisCorps, the Friars, Sisters of St. Francis, FrancisCorps Alumni, Secular Franciscans, and many more! With this in mind, one evening each week is reserved as a Community Night in which a member of this extended community is invited to share in the daily meal and prayer as well as an activity planned by the community as a reminder to the volunteers they are not alone and that they have support on their journey.
