SBU's Francis Week Activities
Fr. Dominic V. Monti, O.F.M., former president of St. Bonaventure University, will be the featured speaker during Francis Week activities Sept. 27 through Oct. 4.
Fr. Dominic will engage the question, “What Does Theology Have to Do with Anything? The Queen of the Sciences in a Liberal Education,” at the Fr. Jerome Kelly Memorial Lecture at 4 p.m. Oct. 1 in the University Chapel.
The talk, like all Francis Week activities, is free and open to the public.
Fr. Dominic will also speak about his new book, “Francis & His Brothers: A Popular History of the Franciscan Friars,” at a 10 a.m. talk Oct. 1 in the Walsh Auditorium; and about “Mendicants in the Marketplace” from 12:30-1:20 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Friday Forum (for faculty and staff only) in the Doyle Dining Room.
A longtime professor of church history, Fr. Dominic was president of St. Bonaventure from 2003 to 2004 and is now vicar provincial of the Holy Name Province of Friars Minor.

(50 years), Fr. Louis McCormick, O.F.M. (50 years), biology professor Fr. Peter Schneible, O.F.M. (25 years), and Fr. Harry Monaco, O.F.M. (newly ordained).
Later Sunday, from 1 to 4 p.m., a Heavenly Harvest Celebration will be held at Canticle Farm, 3835 S. Nine Mile Road, Allegany. The celebration will feature a fresh salad bar lunch with homemade desserts, drawings, a cooking contest, and entertainment.
