The University hosts various events that provide opportunities for individuals and corporations to invest in our students and programs through sponsorships.

 

Fête des Fidèles

Fête des Fidèles, a French phrase meaning “Feast of the Faithful," is Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University’s signature event and ONLY fundraiser. In celebration of a tradition of education that has been making a difference in the lives of others since 1923, each year the University recognizes outstanding alumni and a community leader during this event. Proceeds support the St. Francis Annual Fund, which benefits academic programs and student scholarships.

Each year sponsorships, table purchases and individual tickets are available online or by contacting the office Institutional Advancement.
