Summer Outreach Week (SOW) 2026
SOW: A Franciscan Experience of Faith, Service, and Community
In the spirit of St. Francis, we meet Christ in the people and places that surround us each day. Simple acts—preparing meals for those in need, crafting a bed for a child who has never had one, pausing to pray together—become moments of grace. These shared experiences draw us into deeper compassion and strengthen the bonds of community, reminding us that holiness often begins with caring for those closest to us. Our service strengthens community bonds and nurtures compassion that lasts long beyond the summer.
