"Preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words."
~St. Francis of Assisi~
Welcome to the web page of the Mission and Ministry Unit of Neumann
University. Peace and every blessing to each of you as you become acquainted
with our work here in the Mission and Ministry Unit.
The mission of the Unit is to provide for the wholistic development
of the university community through opportunities for continued understanding
and deeper appreciation of our Catholic, Franciscan mission values.
I invite you to meet each of our staff members, become familiar with
the activities offered through the Neumann Institute for Franciscan
Studies, The Center for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development,
and Campus Ministry and join us for our daily and or weekend liturgy
celebration. Also, enjoy the opportunities for retreats, evenings of
reflection, and outreach programs to the underserved and alternative
Spring Breaks to work in the ministry with the Sisters of St. Francis
of Philadelphia who are in direct service to the poor.
