SUPPORT THE 2026 CAPUCHIN APPALACHIAN MISSION
Families in our own country are living without adequate housing, food, and clothing. You can help make a difference.

From July 18–26, I will travel to Kentucky for the 5th year for the 33rd Capuchin Appalachian Mission. This year, as we celebrate the Year of St. Francis, we will serve a community where nearly 45% of residents live below the poverty line.

We will also honor the memory of Fr. Fred Nickle, whose dedication to this mission inspired so many.

Be a Companion in Mission
Not everyone is called to go—but everyone can help send.

How you can support the mission:

Pray for our team before and during the trip

Learn about the challenges faced by families in Appalachia

Give a financial gift to support:

Free Vacation Bible School (faith, food, and fun for children)

Home repair and support for families in need

Outreach to seniors to reduce isolation and loneliness

I am truly grateful for your support. God bless you and peace be with you.
