I want to volunteer in a catholic mission in france, preferabley by the coast. Any ideas?

Question

I am a UK citizen with very little french but a great willingness to learn. I would like to volunteer for quite a while maybe 4 months. I would also like to be near the coast, around Bordeaux or on the south west coast. I have volunteered before in catholic missions in palestine and enjoyed it very much. I have some skills in gardening and woodland work.

Answer 1

Probably the best place is here

www.vocation-network.org

Its main purpose is to foster religious vocations, but it also has advertisments for groups who need people to help in their missions.

Answer 2

the people in france are christian.its pretentious to assume that they will convert to catholicism.

Answer 3

Contact you diocesan office for missions about ways to volunteer overseas including in France.

Here is some information from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Missions website: http://www.missionsla.org/missionhome/mi...

With love in Christ.
