Curriculum Highlights

Pastoral Ministry at St. Francis High School is inspired by the ideals and words of our patron, St. Francis of Assisi, “for it is in giving that we receive” and seeks to foster the personal and spiritual growth of each person in the school community. It is a ministry to, for, by, and with young people, as well as the entire community —faculty, staff, parents, families and alumni.
