Dr. Matthew Draud, president of Briar Cliff University, and Dr. Michael Horka, campus minister at Briar Cliff, help us to usher in the Year of St. Francis at the Franciscan university. Bishop John Keehner has designated BCU's Our Lady of Grace Chapel and St. Francis of Assisi Church in Rockwell City as pilgrimage sites for the jubilee year. In this episode, we learn about the Franciscan values that direct the university, what's going on at BCU today, the Franciscan sisters' involvement and how to visit the chapel on campus during this jubilee year.
