Faith in Action Ministry (FIA) empowers our community, as the people of God, to fulfill the Church’s mission of love, justice, freedom, and peace, which is built up or torn down in the daily decisions and actions we make. Our faith does not call us to abandon the world but to shape it. This mission accomplishes more when we act together, supporting each other and helping each other to have the courage of our convictions, to stand up for what we value and to practice what scripture proclaims. There is a fit for you. Please join us in continuing God’s work.

​

At the Franciscan Renewal Center, “Faith in Action” means putting your passion to work for social justice and positive change in the world. We are the hands and feet of Christ, and we are motivated by St. Francis’ revolutionary concept of what it means to embrace all of Creation with love, not blame.

​

Our various FIA ministries are made up of not only volunteers from the Our Lady of the Angels community, but also anyone who has a heart for a particular ministry and its mission.

​

We certainly welcome and appreciate our direct service volunteers. However, all of our FIA ministries will not thrive or exist without our vital volunteer leadership teams. If you are interested in learning more about FIA leadership opportunities, please reach out to the respective ministry via email.
