Welcome Message from the Interim Executive Director
This academic year marks a new initiative in the creation and development of the Saint Xavier University Office for University Ministry. The Office for University Ministry includes the Office for University Mission and Heritage, Center for Religion and Public Discourse, Department of Campus Ministry, MercyCare, collaborations with the Archdiocese of Chicago, wider outreach to our local community, and connection to the University academic ministry programs through the Pastoral Ministry Institute. We are committed to maintaining and developing the life and practice of faith in its intellectual, liturgical, social service, spiritual, sponsorship and ministerial dimensions.
Please take a moment and click on each of these exciting areas, which offer distinctive opportunities for those within and beyond the University community.
While sustaining and advancing the University’s Catholic identity and Sister of Mercy heritage, the Office for University Ministry serves the religious and spiritual needs of all University constituents — students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni and local community.
On behalf of the staff of the Office for University Ministry, I warmly welcome and invite you to explore a rich array of opportunities that awaits you in University Ministry.
