Founders Week: Called for a Purpose, Rooted in Hope
Join us for Founders Week 2026
Members of the Duquesne University community speak on how we as a Spiritan community
are called to find our purpose and bring hope to those around us even in the darkest
times.
This year's Founders Week celebrates the theme Called for a Purpose, Rooted in Hope.
We hope that you will join us for one of the many events during the week! In a season
where sunlight is fleeting, and the world can seem cold and dark, we remember that
we in the Duquesne community are called to a higher purpose, to be the light for one
another. Inspired by our Spiritan founders who established our school to bring hope
to those in need, we continue to stand beside one another committed to use our gifts
to build our community and reach out to the world.
We are called to show compassion, called to be bold, called to discover, called to connect, called to open our hearts. We are called for a purpose, rooted in hope.
