Lewis University’s Exploring Lasallian Mission (ELM) Program is generously supported by the Francis and Theresa Quirk Endowment for Lasallian Mission.

The Francis and Theresa Quirk Endowment for Lasallian Mission supports the advancement and further development of Lewis University’s Exploring Lasallian Mission (ELM) formation program, which features the annual ELM Summer Workshop, the ELM Seminar Series, and the ELM Retreat.

The Fund was established in memory of Francis and Theresa Quirk during their centenary with reSA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½s provided by the Green Isle Trust. Francis (1916-1987) and Theresa (1916-2004) instilled the importance of faith, family and education in their four children and nine grandchildren. Within the extended Quirk family are four generations of educators, and thus to provide reSA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½s to provide further formation for educational ministers is consistent with the goal of collegial development and continuing education.
