Welcome

Dear Friends,

I am happy to welcome you to the Office of Mission and Ministry at Georgetown University. Founded in 2003, this Office is committed to promoting the Catholic and Jesuit identity of the University and the values we espouse.

To accomplish this, we sponsor a variety of programs, seminars, presentations, days of recollection, retreats and reflection series to help members of our University community understand better our identity and traditions.

Because we respect the wide variety of religious and humanist perspectives of our colleagues, we often describe ourselves as a 'centered pluralism.' In other words, as we cherish Catholic and Jesuit identity which centers this great University, we also respect and engage the plurality of traditions which are held by members of our community.

Hopefully, the following pages will describe for you the programs and activities sponsored by the Office of Mission and Ministry and will give you a sense of the vitality of our mission at Georgetown University.

Sincerely,

Philip L. Boroughs, S.J.
Vice President for Mission and Ministry
