The Franciscan Peacemakers Social Enterprise connects women survivors of exploitation to safe housing, meaningful work and a healing network of support. The ministry founded by Capuchin Friars, Fathers Michael Sullivan and Robert Wheelock in 1995, is inspired by the Franciscan vision of a God who is encountered in poor and humble places and in the sister and brotherhood of all creation.
Their mission is to connect, employ, house and advocate:
- The Hospitality Center at Franciscan Peacemakers - provides respite and peer support for women
- Survivors are provided living wage jobs manufacturing and selling bath and body products
- Clare Community - is a two year program that provides housing for women survivors along with physical and mental support. Employees in residence save ½ their income leading them to be able to move and live independently upon program completion
- They provides education to parishes, schools, and community groups to raise awareness about human trafficking
*Benefits of Franciscan Peacemakers Soy Candles
-Cleaner burning - no toxins, carcinogens or pollutants which means it's less likely to trigger allergies. No petrol-carbon soot like you get from petroleum-based paraffin candles.
-Longer lasting - soy wax burns cooler which means that you can enjoy your soy wax candle for generally 30-50% longer than a paraffin candle.
-Supports US farmers.
-Biodegradable and water soluble - since our candles are made out of soybeans, they are naturally biodegradable which makes accidental spills easier to clean.
-Utilizes natural, renewable resources.
-No lead or zinc cored wicks - all our wicks are made of either cotton, paper or hemp.
