Mission, Ministry & Interfaith Dialogue
SFC's Office of Mission, Ministry & Interfaith Dialogue is dedicated to helping students pursue whole-person development. Our programs and resources are inspired by the charism of St. Francis of Assisi and follow the mission of St. Francis College.
We’re passionate about creating an atmosphere of genuine friendship and support, and we strive to promote a strong and inclusive community through social responsibility, mutual respect, service, justice and spiritual growth. Working in collaboration with other departments, our office focuses particularly on the spiritual development of students and the college community.

Emergency Notification: SFC Alerts
SFC Alerts is St. Francis College’s urgent notification system. It allows the College to send out emergency and urgent information to students, faculty & staff in a variety of ways like emails, text messages, phone calls and instant messages. Messages will only be sent for school wide situations like Snow Cancellations or Building Evacuations. SFC Alerts cycles through a series of contacts that each student puts in priority order until a student acknowledges that they have received the alert. Students will never be spammed. Each student’s St. Francis email address is entered into the system, but it is up to every individual to personalize their entry to add things like cell phone number and instant message addresses. You can update your information by going to the mySFC portal at https://mysfc.sfc.edu/. If you do not have your authorization code, please contact the Office of Government & Community Relations at (718) 489-5404 or go to www.sfc.edu/sfcalerts.
