As Capuchin Family Ministries launches its 2024 summer programs, it simultaneously launches a new logo!

Since the relaunch of Capuchin Youth & Family Ministries a few years ago, the Province sought a new look to go with the new model of ministry. The new logo incorporates a tau cross, bringing distinctive Franciscan imagery from the old logo, and much of the former name. “Capuchin Family Ministries” simplifies the brand while reflecting the constituency it has always served. “Our goal has always been to build up people's identity as Catholics in the world, and we will continue to serve people of all ages, including youth,” said Fr. Erik Lenhart, chaplain. “Our programs provide the time and space for people to encounter God through prayer, service to others, and the sacraments. We spark men and women, young and old, in ways meaningful to them and that they can live out long after the program’s conclusion.”

The Province has already been taking registrations for its summer programs: Summer Outreach Week (June 22-27), Capuchin Appalachian Mission (July 6-14), and Catholic Literature & Arts Summer Program (July 27-Aug. 2).

“We hope you will continue with us to be courageous and hopeful in our mission to people of all ages, united in prayer and the gift of the Capuchin charism,” said Father Erik.
