Our Teams

JPIC Teams Worldwide

The Capuchins worldwide are divided into juridical groups called Circumscriptions. These Circumscriptions are in turn, grouped into Conferences of Major Superiors that work closely with the General Curia which is the main governing body. There are at present 13 Conferences of Major Superiors. Within these Conferences, we have JPIC Teams who work in solidarity with the poor and promote the care of creation.

Get to know more about our JPIC Teams worldwide by clicking on the tabs below.
