Mission Statement
Recognizing that every person is a manifestation of the living God, Campus Ministry at Santa Clara University provides a welcoming environment where this manifestation may be explored and given expression. We embrace the Jesuit traditions, especially that of “developing the whole person and becoming a person for others.” Campus Ministry fosters change and growth within individuals and within the University community through programs and ministries which seek to:
- Create an environment where faith may be explored, discovered, and developed, and where compassion for others is exercised in a habitual way within the University.
- Promote the integration of the whole person within the context of community.
- Educate and empower members of the University community toward “A faith that does justice.”
- Bring the Gospel of Christ to bear on the moral challenges faced by members of this academic community and the broader world.
- Stimulate individuals to a deeper and more mature assimilation of the Catholic faith tradition of this University community. This includes a deep respect and honoring of all other traditions.
- Form leaders for society and the Church by discovering, eliciting, and developing the various gifts of our University community.
