Help preserve the legacy of one of the 20th century’s greatest Catholic thinkers.

Franciscan University is creating a dedicated space to house and showcase over 400 first-edition works by G.K. Chesterton, along with original writings, notes, and personal artifacts. This new room will offer students, scholars, and visitors a unique opportunity to explore Chesterton’s thought and be inspired by his joyful, reasoned defense of the faith.

Your gift will:

• Preserve a rare collection of Chesterton’s writings and make them accessible for study, research, and appreciation.

• Inspire generations of students through a dedicated space that celebrates Chesterton’s insights on faith, reason, culture, and Catholic life.

• Promote Chesterton’s legacy by equipping a new generation of readers and thinkers to engage the world with truth, clarity, and joy.

Join us in creating a space where Chesterton’s ideas continue to shape hearts and minds for Christ.
