Mission

The University of Saint Francis offers formation of the whole person by providing an encounter with the heart and mind of Jesus Christ so that God, who is Love, may be loved. Through our Catholic identity, Franciscan charism, and liberal arts tradition, we prepare students for personal and professional lives of virtue, service, and joy.

Saint Francis core values are the standards of behavior for every member of the university. They reflect those of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration and bring their charism to the university.

• Ceaseless Adoration – We adore God and interact with others in a way that honors His Presence.
• Generous Love – we spend time in community, give of ourselves, and accept help from others.
• Franciscan Joy – we delight in the simple things and give thanks in all circumstances.
