Community

Partnerships

We are proud of our relationships with local businesses, organizations, and other service providers to both provide new perspectives to our residents but to also give back to the community that supports us.

Partnership Types

  • Extended Services

    We partner with other organizations that can provide extended services to our residents that we don’t specialize in.

“The PTHA's (PA Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association) partnership with St. Francis is very meaningful to our association. Supporting St. Francis, a great facility and mission in our community here in Bensalem, supports our mission of bettering the community. The ability to show the students a glimpse of thoroughbred racing here at Parx Racetrack exposes them to an industry and possible career path they may be interested in pursuing.”

Extended Services

We partner with Bethany Christian Services to provide transitional living for unsettled Refugees as part of the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program.

The focus of the program is to train and support each youth while assessing their level of life skills. This program assists youth to transition into semi-independent living programs and prepare them for life in a new county.

Local Authorities

We work closely with the Bensalem police department to perform safety and security checks at our school. The police also provide annual security training including active shooter training to our residents and staff.

At Saint Francis, we believe in giving back to our community. We partner with local organizations around a variety of initiatives, and our youth actively work at nearby restaurants and businesses. Through these partnerships, we aim to support and strengthen our Philadelphia-area community while providing valuable opportunities for our students to engage and contribute.
