Bon Secours Volunteer Ministry

Bon Secours Volunteer Ministry, sponsored by the Sisters of Bon Secours, provides the opportunity for young adults to participate in the Sisters’ commitment to justice in radical solidarity with the poor, the suffering, and those most in need.

The ministry volunteers carry this spirit forward in Baltimore, MD and Richmond, VA, where they live as neighbors and serve in ministry placements that improve the public health of their communities.

By sharing the Bon Secours charism of compassion, healing, and liberation, the ministry nurtures and sustains individuals in their personal and communal journeys towards transformation through service with others.

Testimonials

I chose BSVM because we had the opportunity to live within the community that we were serving, a quality that I think is rare among service programs. I also was interested in the healthcare aspect of this program, that once again I don't think many other service programs offer. I had the least medical related position of our year, but I liked the idea of being part of a greater healthcare system. I also liked the intimacy of this program over others, with Baltimore being the only location, and only 5-6 volunteers at a time I knew that all of the focus would be on us, and that we wouldn't get "lost in the shuffle" of a larger program.

— -Alexis DiGasso, 14-15

BSVM was the only urban-based program to offer substantive opportunities in a hospital setting. And I was not let down.

— -Jonathan Bettle, 08-09

BSVM exemplified a spirit of solidarity with both the community I was living with and the community I was working with. BSVM did a good job meshing these two components to really make the experience meaningful both professionally and personally.

— Eugene Kim, 12-13

BSVM was one of the only domestic programs I found that was more focused on healthcare and medicine with direct patient care. I also found that it was a good balance of religious and spiritual. Further, I enjoyed the heavier focus on living in community. I didn't want to live in a city and volunteer but otherwise live a life unchanged, I wanted to fully immerse myself in a new experience.

— Katy Fallavollita, 10-11
