Religious Traditions

Mission Statement

Georgetown’s campus ministers continue a centuries old tradition of providing pastoral care for students, faculty, and staff. As the nation's oldest Catholic and Jesuit University, Georgetown lives out John Carroll’s legacy by ministering not only to Catholic students but also to those of other faiths. Campus Ministry challenges members of the University community to exercise their spirit as well as heart, intellect and body.

Georgetown's Jesuit mission calls students to integrate their faith and learning, encouraging them to share their gifts with all of the world. Campus Ministry's primary mandate is to help students deepen their faith through worship, reflection, and service. Campus Ministry also provides opportunities for faculty and staff, those who educate and serve Georgetown's student body, to worship and grow in their faith.
