Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ Volunteer Program

The PHJC Volunteer Program offers single, Catholic women 21+ the opportunity to live in a faith-based context with Sisters in intentional community while volunteering in one of our various ministries with the poor and marginalized. Volunteers serve for 3 to 12 months in domestic or international ministries. Women are matched by their interests and skills with the needs of our ministries. Volunteers share the charism and spiritual traditions of Blessed Catherine Kasper, foundress of the PHJCs. Volunteers live out their baptismal call to share God’s presence in the world while discerning a life of service as single, married or religious and are inspired by the four core values of Openness to the Spirit, Simplicity, Community and Dignity and Respect for all. Personal, professional and spiritual growth are essential components of the program. Applications and new volunteers are accepted year round.
