The Tau Volunteer program offers single women and associates of the School Sisters of St. Francis the opportunity to share life and ministry with the sisters at Casa Alexia. During a four to twelve week period, volunteers share living space, meals, prayer and reflection with the sisters in El Paso and Juárez. For more information on the Tau Volunteer Program.

" As a Tau Volunteer in the summer of 2008, I had the opportunity to spend a month in El Paso with the School Sisters of St. Francis, sharing in their border ministry. I have a sense of one of the gifts I was given by the people of the colonias-their ability to live in the moment and face their lives with humor and dignity."
