Message from Mission and Social Justice: As a Catholic Franciscan University, in November we honor All Saints and All Souls, remembering those who have gone before us. We are called, each in our own way, to mourn the losses in our family and community. During this Transgender Awareness Week, we invite the Viterbo community to also remember the beautiful lives that have been lost due to anti-transgender violence. As a university, we stand with the Catholic Church in denouncing any and all acts intended to harm the transgender community and we renew our commitment to the promotion of the Gospel values of compassion and love for all.
