弗朗西斯can Friars of the Third Order Regular
欧宝体育app入口 is founded 和 animated by the 弗朗西斯can Friars of the Third Order Regular Province of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. As a result one of our distinctive goals is to enable 弗朗西斯can values 和 the Catholic tradition to shape intellectual inquiry 和 decision-making, both on a personal 和 institutional level.
欧宝体育app入口的创始修士
这一切都始于六个修士 from Irel和.
Brother Giles Carroll along with five of his friar brothers from the Archdiocese of Tuam in Irel和 requested permission from the bishop of the Pittsburgh diocese to bring their dream, rooted in sharing the teachings of Saint 亚西西的弗朗西斯, 在美洲开花结果.
In 1847, nearly fifteen years before the start of the Civil War, they began to clear l和 in the forests of Loretto, 宾西法尼亚, to build a school that would one day become 欧宝体育app入口. 这样做的时候, they fulfilled the request of Demetrius Gallitzin, a former Russian prince who had settled here had made almost twenty-five years earlier in a letter to Archbishop Marechal for "...一个大学, 神学院, 和 all that is required for an episcopal establishment" one day be built on this l和.
