As disciples of Jesus Christ, we in the St. Francis High School Religion Department are called to continue His mission in the Church by proclaiming the Gospel to our students. Rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition and the charism of St. Francis of Assisi, the department seeks to make the Reign of God present through the cultivation of faith among our students. By following the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) standards and the religious traditions of the Catholic faith, our students are challenged by the Franciscan values and charism, and they are mindful of an intellectual tradition that emphasizes reverence for creation, compassion, and peacemaking. Working with the office of Pastoral Ministry, we hope to evangelize our students with the Gospel in order to send them forth as disciples of Jesus Christ into the world.
