Where We Help

We have Capuchins in China, Papua New Guinea, Puerto Rico and have partnerships with India, Tanzania and Kenya.

Our Director

In 2011, he was appointed executive director of the Seraphic Mass Association. He continues to be the Mission Secretary for the Capuchin Province of St. Augustine, headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA.

Our Mission

The challenge of the Capuchin Franciscan friars is spiritual, physical and medical care for people facing the hardships of living through natural disasters, poverty or tribal warfare or in geographically remote areas.

Capuchin Friars

Capuchins were dedicated to a life of intense prayer, rugged poverty and service to the poor and abandoned.

Our History

The Seraphic Mass Association was established in 1929 to assist American Capuchin missionaries in China and Puerto Rico.
