Reflections on the Franciscan Urban Mission Trip by Rose O.

My experience at the Franciscans for the Poor Volunteer program
was totally life–changing. Although the program only lasted a
week, I still learned a whole lot in so little time. Each day I spent
with the less privileged made me grateful to God for the things I
have. I have gotten to appreciate every little thing in life that I had
taken for granted. I’m really thankful to God for giving me the
opportunity to help the people in need and making me a better
person. — Rose O.
