91³Ô¹ÏÍø

As a Jesuit, Catholic university, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø is rooted in the 500-year history of the Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola. In the same spirit of St. Ignatius and the early Jesuits, we aspire to welcome students and employees of all religious identities, practices and traditions, and to share the rich educational and spiritual traditions of our heritage with all members of our community.

As an institution named after the founder of the Jesuits, we invite all members of our community to encounter, explore, engage, and enact our Ignatian mission, engaging with our heritage and our values, so as to be transformed personally and professionally.

Jesuit education aims to form and transform the whole person, centering academic excellence, interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge, so as to graduate servant leaders. To do so, we lean into a process of education centering:  

• Cura Personalis: care for the whole person – intellectual development, emotional development and spiritual development
• Cura Apostolica: care for the institution, and all members of our community, as we advance our strategic plan, Together We Rise
• Cura Urbi: care for the city and community, as we advance an ecological approach to justice and placed-based education  

Loyola strives to foster a culture of encounter and a culture of belonging. The community is deeply rooted in Ignatian tradition and remains in ongoing dialogue with academic disciplines, cultures, and society more broadly.

Whether through the Mass of the Holy Spirit, a day of service along the York Road corridor, or participation in ministry programs, there are many ways to engage in this important area of campus life.
