Missionary Program
The St. Michael Missionary Program is a unique opportunity for young women to work alongside the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal in their different apostolates in Atlantic City and share in various aspects of their community and prayer life. The primary goal is to give young women the opportunity to strengthen their personal relationship with Jesus through a deepening prayer life, intentional community, and hands on service to the poor. Living a life of greater simplicity and less distractions, the missionary year creates an environment which is more conducive for discernment, and the formation offered is meant to assist each young woman in discovering where and how she will best be able to make an authentic gift of herself to the Lord. The program is eight months, from September to May, and is open to women ages 21-35.
The missionaries live at the Fr. Benedict House, which is named after Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR,
one of the eight founders of the CFR Friars.
