Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ
Goal of Program
The mission of the PHJC Volunteer Program is to offer Christian women (men for short immersions and and college groups) unique opportunities in a faith-based context to live out their Baptismal call to share God's presence in the world. Volunteers are inspired by openness to the Spirit, simplicity, community, sustainability, and dignity and respect for all. Our program seeks to meet the needs and interests of both the individual and the ministry served. Volunteers live in intentional community with our Sisters.
