Our Catholic, Jesuit Identity
Our Catholic, Jesuit traditions commission us to offer a welcoming environment and supportive services to all members of the university community and to members of all faith traditions. We assist the formation of our community members to be contemplatives-in-action and to inspire renewed commitment to service and justice as men and women with and for others.
Faculty & Staff Retreats
The Office of Mission & Identity hosts retreats throughout the year for faculty and staff to come together, reflect, and join in community. Retreats are open to Loyolans from all faith backgrounds and available at no cost due to the sponsorship of generous Loyola benefactors. The two-day spiritual retreat benefit may be applied to these retreats with the approval of your supervisor.
