Franciscan School of Theology

Mission Statement

The Franciscan School of Theology forms and educates the hearts and minds of dedicated religious and lay, women and men, who heal, teach, preach and serve while filling the world with the Gospel of Christ. In the tradition of Francis and Clare of Assisi, our multicultural, Christian community builds on a theology which integrates rigorous study with pastoral practice and teaches respect for the dignity of each person as a living image of Christ, in an environment nourished with the hospitality, generosity, courtesy, optimism, joy and grace of work that define the Franciscan spirit.
