LAMP Catholic Ministries
Goal of Program
LAMP (Lay Apostolic Ministries with the Poor) is a ministry in the Archdiocese of NY & Brooklyn that offers adults, ages 21 to 40, the opportunity to deepen faith through a time (9 months min.) of committed service and prayer, in the spirit of St. Francis, sharing faith with the materially poor in NYC. Founded by Tom & Lyn Scheuring, OFS, in 1981, our mission is to share the love of Jesus with those who suffer the most in our society – those who are poor, homeless, abandoned, sick, elderly, or ignored. LAMP Missionaries live in community (separate women and men residences). As well as service, we participate daily in Mass and prayer times, knowing that it is our life support personally and necessary for growth in holiness & fruit in our mission. As a missionary you will receive ongoing formation, free room and board, food and travel expenses covered, $350 monthly stipend, and medical insurance. Do you have the call to know and love Jesus more fully through serving the poor? Contact us to explore
