SUMMARY:The Padua Program (In-Person; Partner Event)
DESCRIPTION:Forming leaders in the Franciscan mission \n\n\n\nHosted by the Franciscan Institute at St. Bonaventure University\, the Padua Program is a year-long formation experience for leaders who serve in Franciscan institutions and ministries. Through an immersive on‑campus workshop in July and ten monthly online seminars\, participants explore the spirituality of Saints Francis and Clare and learn practical approaches to mission‑based leadership in today’s organizations. \n\n\n\nNow entering its eighth cohort\, Padua has equipped leaders across education\, health care\, social services\, and retreat ministry with the tools to preserve\, strengthen\, and animate the Franciscan legacy in their own contexts. Guided by nationally recognized scholars and practitioners\, participants engage in study\, reflection\, and skill‑building within a supportive learning community. \n\n\n\nCohort VIII will gather July 8–11\, 2026\, in the newly renovated Francis Hall on the scenic St. Bonaventure campus. Registration is $3\,000 and includes housing and meals. \n\n\n\nRegistration for the 2026 Padua Program is now open. \n\n\n\nClick Here to Register
