There are many opportunities at Saint Francis University to live and grow in one's faith. Our students are active in Campus Ministry as well as our many Faith and Fellowship groups. Make friends and experience college life in a faith community that studies and prays together!
Saint Francis University welcomes students of all faiths. Some students have questions about their faith and want to explore the Catholic faith.
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a journey that explores the Catholic faith with the opportunity to be fully initiated into the Church at Easter. This program is for students coming from other Christian faith traditions as well as students who have never been baptized.
Those Catholics who have already received the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Eucharist and wish to complete the initiation process with Confirmation. Classes are offered in the spring. Call the campus ministry office for more information.
