“Francis, go and rebuild my Church.”
— JESUS
The Francis Institute transforms lives through Catholic missionaries raised up from the communities they serve in Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador, Canada, and Bangladesh.

The Francis Institute seeks to rebuild the Church and advance Christ’s kingdom through four pillars: preaching the Gospel, making disciples, building community, and serving the poor.
We offer training and support for Catholic missionaries who serve in one of our five mission locations. Our missionaries are families, couples, and singles who serve for anywhere between one month and several years.
Our missionaries begin each day with Mass and Adoration. They then go out to be with the poor, pray with them in their homes, listen to their needs, and serve them through corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
