POSITION SUMMARY
The Director of the Franciscan University Homeland Mission will provide on-site leadership and management of The Ward and Kathy Fitzgerald Franciscan University Homeland Mission (FUHM) in Washington, D.C. By bringing the University’s Gospel-infused core values of encounter, conversion, and community to bear on the political and social atmosphere of Washington, D.C., Franciscan students, alumni, faculty, and staff will bring the light of Catholic social teaching to the most crtiical issues of the day. This engagement will not only bring the Church’s witness to the legislative and political process, but it will also serve to draw more people to Christ and his Church. Programs and events at the FUHM will challenge students to work and witness for ongoing, systematic change in federal government, placing the sacred human dignity of all people at the center of the work. This position will serve as a bridge between Steubenville and Washington, drawing people into closer engagement with the University and its academic and spiritual mission.
