The evening began with Mass with Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades at the St. Francis Chapel. Following Mass, guests walked to the Achatz Hall of Science for fellowship and food.
The culmination of the event was a presentation about the Assisi Program for Discipleship and Leadership, a four-year formation program open to students of all majors.
Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades speaks with University of Saint Francis and Catholic community leaders about supporting the new USF Assisi Program for Discipleship and Leadership.
Five students are taking part in the pilot program this year, with the official launch set for fall of 2023. The program is designed to help Catholic students who are intentional about their faith to navigate their collegiate experience as an engagement between their vocational training and their relationship with Jesus. It teaches them how that can translate into impactful and meaningful leadership in the workforce.
