For the fourth year in a row, the graduating class at Fransiscan, a Catholic liberal arts university in Steubenville, Ohio, is larger than ever.
“We are deeply grateful and humbled by God’s continued blessings on Franciscan University as we look forward to celebrating the graduation of almost 900 incredible young men and women of faith,” said Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, a 1989 graduate and current president of Franciscan University.
“The education they have received has prepared them well to tackle the challenges ahead and to be successful in every facet of their personal and professional lives,” he continued. “As mature disciples of Jesus Christ, they will bring the light of joy, hope, and truth to all they encounter.”
Home to the largest undergraduate theology program in the U.S., Franciscan has been endorsed by the Cardinal Newman Society for being faithfully Catholic.
The university has taken a strong stance against the Biden administration’s use of Title IX for “gender identity” politics and last year invited Jewish students who feared for their safety on other college campuses to transfer to Steubenville.
Franciscan also offers a “Crossroads Pro-Life Scholarship” to undergraduate students who volunteer for pro-life organizations or life-affirming pregnancy centers. Last year’s commencement speaker, Lila Rose, heads the pro-life activist organization LiveAction.
