FORT WAYNE, Ind. (CNS) -- The head of the Vatican's justice, peace and human development efforts urged over 700 graduates of the University of St. Francis to follow the example of their school's namesake and the advice of the pope who shares his name.
"Consider what impact you make in life," said Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson, prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. He urged graduates to be "sowers of hope" in his May 1 address at the commencement ceremony at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne.
