This course invites students to journey with St. Francis of Assisi and some of the men and women who
chose to join him on the Franciscan journey. Course participants will engage in a conversation with St. Francis of
Assisi by examining own his writings and those of his biographers. Students will be introduced to other Franciscan
women and men whose lives have given shape to the Gospel vision of peace and justice that St. Francis had for all
of creation. As a Study Abroad course, students will be given the option of participating in the AFCU Pilgrimage
for College and University Students at the conclusion of the fall semester.
