Rebuild My Church Capital Campaign

Your support can make an immediate and lasting impact through Franciscan’s historic Rebuild My Church campaign:

The Restoration of the Rose Window in Christ the King Chapel – A gift of Franciscan University Alumni

The power of the Word of God is a pivotal part of our Franciscan University of Steubenville culture. St. Francis focused on the Gospel as a Way of Life for us all. This old rose window depicting the four evangelists was found by Fr. Jonathan St. André, TOR and other friars and staff from a closed church in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. They believe it can be brought back to life in Christ the King Chapel.

You can help your fellow alumni to bring the light back to this window and then have it installed in the soon to be renovated Christ the King Chapel. We are asking our alumni to join in the preservation and installation of this beautiful rose window, to be a centerpiece overlooking the Rosary circle and shining more natural light into the interior of Christ The King.

The St. Michael’s Scholarship Fund

You know the value of a good education—how it opens doors and creates opportunities. But for many deserving students, the cost of education can be a barrier. The St. Michael’s Scholarship Fund directly addresses this need, ensuring that no student is turned away because of financial limitations, and helps bridge the gap for our most needy students. By contributing to this fund, you are giving these young men and women the chance to become the leaders God is calling them to be. Your gift provides them with the foundation they need to succeed and to bring Christ’s light into the world.

The Christ the Teacher Academic Building

You understand the importance of equipping the next generation with the tools they need to excel. The Christ the Teacher Academic Building is more than just bricks and mortar; it is where Faith and Reason come together to prepare students for lives of purpose and service. Your investment in this facility is an investment in the future—ensuring that our students are not only knowledgeable but also wise, ready to make a difference in the world with both their minds and their hearts. With dedicated space for Nursing, Engineering, and Business, along with conference space, these facilities will help us to better prepare leaders to go forth into the world, to bring Christ along each step of the way.

The Renovation of Christ the King Chapel

Christ the King Chapel has been the spiritual heart of our campus, a place where students encounter God and are renewed in their faith. The renovation of this sacred space will allow even more students to experience the grace and peace that flows from a deep connection with Christ. By supporting this project, you are creating a legacy of faith that will endure for generations, touching countless lives and bringing them closer to God.

At the core of all these initiatives is the call of our Lord to Saint Francis to “Rebuild My Church” – a call we and all of our friends at Franciscan University are responding to in earnest. By partnering with Franciscan University, you are not just making a donation; you are making an investment in the future of the Church and in the world.
