SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

Our Franciscan identity invites us to have face to face encounters with those we serve. We have established community partnerships with fellow faith-based organizations working in the Oceanside community to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Feel the call to serve Christ in the poor? Join one of our serving teams, or dedicate some time to separate and organize clothes at one of our partner organization thrift stores.  If interested, please contact Angel Ibarra at 760-547-0708.
