St. Francis of Assisi was an important religious leader whose life is still having an impact hundreds of years after his death. A variety of celebrations are held throughout the year acknowledging the influence of Sts. Francis and Clare and other Franciscans who have inspired us. Events include creative prayer services, intellectual studies, and story telling, from students, faculty and staff.
This is an annual event that students choose to attend at various locations throughout the United states. Hundreds of Catholic college students gather for four days of workshops, creative prayer, dancing and other events that energize and affirm all in fully living their faith. Students conduct fund raising to attend the conference.
This is an ecumenical gathering that is offered the first Wednesday evening of the month at 10 p.m. in Clare Lounge. Faculty or staff members are invited to share stories with students of someone -- living or dead -- who has inspired them on their faith journey in life. This is followed by time for questions, conversation and pizza.
