Franciscan University of Steubenville is a Franciscan-founded university located in Steubenville, Ohio. It is a strong orthodox Catholic university in Ohio and major epicenter for the Catholic charismatic renewal.
History
In 1946, Steubenville’s first bishop, John King Mussio, suggested that the Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular establish a college to serve the needs of local students, most especially the veterans of World War II. The friars purchased the Knights of Pythias Building in downtown Steubenville in June 1946.
The college nearly failed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Reeling from the social and cultural upheavals that rocked schools nationwide, the College found itself facing a serious identity crisis and declining enrollment. Father Michael Scanlan, TOR, who became president in 1974, helped restore the institution's Franciscan identity by placing worship and religious fellowship, in forms heavily influenced by the Catholic charismatic renewal, at the center of campus life and orienting the curriculum toward an emphasis on traditional Catholic doctrine.
