When I began my studies at the Franciscan School of Theology, a former graduate told me “It will change your life.” And it did. It changed how I see the world; how I relate to others; how I approach God. How can I not want that same experience to be available to others for years to come?
I am proud to share, I have included FST in my estate plans. It is a privilege for me to know that it will benefit the place that I will always think of as my intellectual guide and my spiritual home.
