Our Mission

Your act of generosity impacts our longevity and how we contribute to our community.

Secularism, materialism, attacks on the human person-our culture and our faith are under siege as at no other time in history. But where many institutions respond by equivocating about their core mission, Franciscan University stands apart. We know there is too much at stake-for our students, for our Church, and for our world-to compromise our authentic Catholic mission.

At Franciscan University, we educate, evangelize, and send forth joyful disciples to transform our culture in Jesus Christ. These fearless Catholic witnesses stand against the rising darkness and live the truth of the Gospel in all they do. They transform workplaces, families, communities, and parishes around the world.

We are proud of them and proud to be a small university with an outsized impact. Yet, we believe God is calling us to do more.

More to prepare our students to live their God-given vocation faithfully in the world. More to extend the University's impact far beyond our hilltop campus. More to galvanize support so we can serve future generations.

Franciscan University can carry out God's call thanks to your generosity. With companions like you on this journey, we can do more to educate, form, and transform our students … conference attendees … podcast and video audiences … parish catechists … and all those seeking a deeper faith.

When you give to Franciscan University, you not only impact the lives of our students and all those touched by our outreaches. You also impact the lives of everyone they will touch in the future. You help build up the next generation of bold witnesses for Christ and contribute to the renewal our culture and our Church so desperately need.

Thank you for accompanying us in this vital and sacred mission!
