Mission and Ministry
The Division of Mission and Ministry is charged with clearly articulating and broadly communicating ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½’s Jesuit, Catholic mission and character. In the diverse and dynamic region of Silicon Valley, this entails developing new strategies to meet the evolving needs of the campus, church, and local community, while strengthening ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½’s position as a nationally recognized Jesuit, Catholic university.
The Division of Mission and Ministry is comprised of Campus Ministry, the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education, and the Mission Church. Building on a strong campus commitment to the University’s Jesuit, Catholic mission, the Division oversees the development and implementation of initiatives to engage students, faculty, staff, administrators, trustees, alumni, and benefactors in deeper education and ongoing formation, helping these groups to make the mission their own and apply it concretely to their work and life. The Division collaborates closely with the new vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion and other Cabinet members to accomplish shared goals that allow ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ to live more authentically its Jesuit, Catholic mission.
