Mission and Ministry

The mission of the Office of Mission and Ministry, led by Vice President for Mission and Ministry Philip L. Boroughs, S.J., is to provide oversight for the Office of Mission and Pastoral Care at Georgetown University Hospital, as well as our extensive Campus Ministry Department which serves the Main Campus, the Law School and the Medical Center. In addition, the Office of Mission and Ministry develops programs which promote Georgetown's Catholic and Jesuit identity for students, faculty, staff, alums, and our various boards.

Each year the Office of Mission and Ministry orients new faculty, staff, students and Board members to the Catholic and Jesuit character of the University and offers a variety of seminars and programs to promote our religious mission and identity. In this effort we began offering Lenten Days of Recollection to faculty, administrators and alums; we continue to support Jesuit Heritage Week, a student organized week of activities and programs which celebrates our Jesuit identity; and for the third year we have co-sponsored the African Immersion Program for faculty and administrators in Kenya.

While these are just some of the activities sponsored by the Office of Mission and Ministry they give you a sense of the vitality and creativity which is animating our work. We hope you find this website informative and helpful, and we encourage you to contact with any questions or comments.
