Since 1847, Saint Francis has been home to generations of students, forming them as professionals and in their personal and spiritual lives, following the example of St. Francis of Assisi and guiding them toward Christ.

As the oldest Catholic-Franciscan college in the nation, our traditions and history are part of what makes our College among the Pines so special. ❤️

Preparing to care for others starts with understanding the challenges they face. ❤️

At Saint Francis University’s Poverty Simulation, students from nursing, physical therapy, social work, occupational therapy, and public health came together to explore how limited resources can shape everyday decisions about housing, healthcare, and family needs.

The experience encouraged future healthcare and social service professionals to reflect on empathy, collaboration, and the dignity of every person, putting our Franciscan values into practice.

Healing Patch in-school grief support groups, known as Patch Clubs, are forming in local school districts!

Patch Clubs allow us to reach more grieving children right where they are, providing a safe and supportive space to connect, share, and remember their significant person.

Students at Greater Johnstown Elementary School enjoyed receiving their comfort bags today and decorating memorial picture frames in honor of someone special to them.

We are grateful to Mid-Penn Region Charities , Saint Francis University Blanketeers, and the United Way of the Southern Alleghenies for helping make this initiative possible. Thank you for supporting grieving children in our community! 💙
