Living as Salt and Light

Through our exciting integration of faith and reason, head and heart, truth and love, Franciscan University has promoted John Paul II’s “hope for a new flowering of Christian culture” (Ex Corde Ecclesiae). At Franciscan, seeds for that new springtime of Christian culture have been sown, and by God’s grace they are beginning to yield a good harvest.


For many years now, our graduates have been taking what they’ve learned here at Franciscan and living it in the world. Even more important, they are teaching others to live it as well. From the halls of Congress and the United Nations, to businesses, schools, and parishes around the country, they are bringing the transforming love of Christ to everything they do. That love is changing hearts and minds, strengthening vocations, and slowly but surely, renewing the culture.

Today, living as salt and light in the world, graduates of Franciscan University are launching a renaissance of their own.
