About CYFM

Core Values


· The charisms of St. Francis of Assisi inspire everything that we do. For this reason, Christ is the center of our ministry. Therefore, our ministry helps youth and families to encounter Jesus and to deepen a personal and loving relationship with Him.







·  We believe in young people and in their ability to be authentic and responsible leaders in the Church and in society.

·  Grace-filled relationships are at the heart of a Christian community. We are committed to nurturing such relationships as the most effective way to evangelize young people and their families and as a privileged way to experience God’s love.

·  We respect and support family as the first community and as the domestic church in which young people live.











·  We believe in collaboration and partnership among friars and lay people within our ministry and with people in the broader community we hope to serve. We respect the different gifts that each person brings to the community and to the ministry.
