You don’t have to go to a third-world country to be a missionary. Men and women, adults and children everywhere are hungry for God’s love. That’s why nearly 500 families come to Catholic Familyland® each summer to encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and be renewed in life. We give parents tools that help them create God-centered experiences for their children at home, all year long. It’s a mission that is changing lives! And it's largely because of our college-age Catholic missionaries.

Will you join us?

As an Alumni Corps, dedicate your summer to supporting families to grow in faith and holiness.

You can expect an intense prayer life, spiritual and personal formation, long days and late nights. Also expect a vibrant community and some hard work as you help lead families to an encounter with Jesus Christ.

There's a Scholarship!

For Alumni Corps Missionaries

A $5,000 scholarship is available for eligible Alumni Corps missionaries who successfully complete their summer of service at Catholic Familyland®.

Have Been Impacted
“I learned how to love and serve others where they were at, just as Jesus so graciously meets us where we are at.” Gabrielle
“Entering my first summer of volunteer work...I lacked the confidence and willingness to really get out of my comfort zone to minister and evangelize to others, which is a major part of our Catholic Faith. Through that first summer of service, I grew so much. I pushed myself to places I didn't think I could go previously. By the end of my [three] years of service at the AFC, I had been transformed into a leader.”David
“As members of the Alumni Corps, we both experienced a deep level of personal and spiritual growth through the service and formation that the program offered. It has definitely been one of the primary influences on our faith and how we strive to live it each day.”Kevin & Nicholle

Relationship

with Christ

Your time as a college-age Catholic missionary is an opportunity to intentionally work on your relationship with God. And through daily prayer and frequent reception of the sacraments, it can be a powerful time of spiritual growth.

• Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
• Eucharistic Holy Hour
• Rosary & Divine Mercy Chaplet
• Sacrament of Confession

Missionary

Spirit

Experience God’s amazing love for you—through prayer and the sacraments. As a result, you'll go forth and boldly share His love with every person you meet. Growing in this joyful missionary spirit is a goal for every Alumni Corps missionary!

Service

to Families

Join a team that is working to support families on their journey to Heaven. During events you will be ministering directly to families, but at other times your work will be behind the scenes. Either way, you’ll be part of a mission that is changing lives!

Authentic

Catholic Community

Share prayer, meals, formation, recreation, and ministry with over 40 other college-age Catholic missionaries! The Alumni Corps program is designed to support you in your journey of faith. In addition, the Alumni Corps program fosters growth of authentic friendships.

Formation

in the Truths of the Faith

Weekly spiritual formation will deepen your knowledge of the Catholic Faith and nourish your relationship with Jesus. This formation you receive will not only support you during your time as a missionary but in your entire Christian journey.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12
