Giving Tuesday—a day set aside for online charitable Christmas giving, and a great way to kick off this holy season!

This year, our Franciscan Friars, T.O.R. community will be raising funds for the education of our student friars. In this era of declining vocations, we have been blessed with a number of young men looking to be part of our Franciscan family. It’s important that we give them the education and grounding they need. 

Our student friars live at our house of studies in Steubenville, OH, where they are able to take advantage of all the resources of Franciscan University. It costs more than $20,000 per year per student to educate a friar in both secular and spiritual studies, and to pay for their room and board. The Order covers all of these expenses, and your contribution to this effort is a tremendous help!
