Our Service Projects provide students with opportunities to build character that is rooted in Franciscan values. These experiences of service assist students in addressing the causes of poverty, violence, and abuse and to keep focus on ways that will result in removing the barriers that keep individuals on the margins of society. Many service projects are done in collaboration with the ministries of our sponsoring religious community, the Sisters of Saint Francis of Philadelphia.

 

Campus Ministers also collaborate with other campus organizations to provide service opportunities for students. Campus Ministry co-sponsors service events with

 

  • The Institute for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development

  • Student Activities

  • Student Government

  • Resident Life Advisory Board

  • Orientation Leaders

  •
