Meet the TFE Team

The TFE Summer Adult Staff are comprised of faculty and staff of FranU that, collectively, have years of experience working in the Catholic Church whether professionally, academically, or on a volunteer basis. No matter our role, we all play a part in making sure we keep a safe, formative, and fun experience for all who participate in TFE.


FranU Theology Faculty

The Theology faculty at FranU are a dedicated group of educators with years of experience in Catholic theology, ministry, and service. Whether in the classroom, the church, or through personal spiritual practice, our faculty brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to their teaching.

TFE Summer College Team

TFE Summer is blessed to have current students of FranU to serve as mentors and support staff of the institute. They are essential to the week since they act as small group leaders, facilitators, behind the scenes support, and examples of students who continue their walk with Christ after high school. Typically most of our college team are previous participants of TFE Summer! The college team is selected through an application process.
