In Memory of Franco Harris

Picture
March 7, 1950–December 20, 2022
We are terribly saddened by the unexpected departure of our dear friend, Franco Harris.  Words cannot express our gratitude for the blessing to have known and worked with Franco for over 35 years.  First, as an honored sports award recipient and since, a distinguished member of our Foundation Board of Governors.  Franco's genuine dedication to our Sisters was outstanding, raising capital for their global ministries to help the poor and marginalized.  He was always available to provide unwavering commitment to the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor.  We are confident that Franco was welcomed wholeheartedly into God's holy kingdom.  Our hearts are saddened for his wife, Dana and their son Dok, both beloved members of our Franciscan family.  Dana is also a cherished member of our Board of Governors.  They remain in our prayers at this most difficult time.  

Respectfully,
 
Sr. Licia  Mazzia, sfp and Dr. Jeff Nichols
