Transformation and Impact
The St. Benedict the Moor Justice Center provides a space on campus for all members of the Saint Francis community to transform their lives and deepen their impact on the world.
Be Welcomed and Affirmed
Driven by Franciscan values and the University’s founding mission, the Justice Center promotes a sense of belonging and affirms the God-given dignity of all who make Saint Francis an exceptional place.
