Mission Statement
of the Georgetown University Jesuits
The Georgetown University Jesuits are an apostolic religious community
grounded in love for Jesus Christ and animated by the Ignatian spiritual
vision of helping others and seeking God in all things. As members
of a worldwide Society within the Catholic Church, we are committed
to the service of faith and the promotion of justice.
We serve God's people at the nation's oldest Catholic and Jesuit
University, established in the religiously inclusive and international
spirit of Georgetown's founder, John Carroll. We witness to the
compatibility of faith and reason, work to extend knowledge and
cultivate a University community that reflects the conviction
that the good life is a life lived generously in the service of
others. We are privileged to labor along with our colleagues through
scholarship and teaching, pastoral work and spiritual formation,
administration and hospitality.
As friends in the Lord, we support one another in our ministries
through a common life of worship and prayers, simplicity, spiritual
conversation, encouragement, respect and affection. We reflect
and plan together with discerning love so that all our present
and future endeavors at Georgetown might be done for the greater
glory of God.
