Why Give to Franciscan?
Because you can help Franciscan lead the way in providing a faithfully Catholic education!
Your gifts support Franciscan University's bold faithfulness to the teachings of the Catholic Church, complementing a diverse and academically challenging curriculum that integrates faith and reason within a dynamic campus life. Help bring Franciscan's mission to life by giving to the Franciscan Annual Fund, which provides critically needed financial aid to students and the resources to address day-to-day priorities of the University.
Because you can help form the hearts and minds of the next generation!
Your gifts ensure that our students will continue to have access to the finest Catholic education, preparing them to engage the culture and “rebuild the Church” as business leaders, catechists, doctors, lawyers, politicians, mothers and fathers, priests and religious.
Because you can help a Church crying out for leaders and vocations!
With the largest Priestly Discernment Program in the country, Franciscan University provides pre-seminary formation for nearly 6O young men a year who are seriously discerning the priesthood. These men receive a dynamic, faithfully Catholic education in theology and philosophy and participate in vibrant communal prayer life and fellowship. Help the students of today become the priests of tomorrow through our Blessed Junipero Serra Fund.
