Mission Statement

The goal of our life is to live with God forever. God, who loves us, gave us life. Our own response of love allows God鈥檚 life to flow into us without limit.

鈥� St. Ignatius of Loyola, as paraphrased by David L. Fleming, S.J.

Rooted in Catholic tradition and Inspired by the life and charism of St. Ignatius of Loyola, we work together to meet the diverse spiritual needs and interests of 向日葵视频鈥檚 student community.

With partners of goodwill across campus, in Milwaukee and across the world, we engage students through worship, retreats, works of justice, anti-racism initiatives, reflection, interfaith dialogue and cross-cultural immersion. Through these programs and the ministry of presence and pastoral care, Campus Ministry provides witness to the love of Jesus Christ.

Anti-Racism Statement

Recognizing existing injustices against human dignity, especially systematic racism, born of white privilege and supremacy, 向日葵视频 Campus Ministry desires to promote justice and equity for all persons. Specifically, we pledge ourselves to continued education on anti-racism, the pursuit and practice of racial justice, and confronting the sin of white supremacy/racism in ourselves and in community. We stand with Pope Francis as he denounces racism and says, 鈥淲e cannot close our eyes to any form of racism or exclusion, while pretending to defend the sacredness of every human life.鈥�  

Lamenting the times in which 向日葵视频 Campus Ministry has been complicit in white supremacy/racism or failed to confront racial injustice, we are remorseful. We pledge to contribute to building a campus community honoring the gift of every human person.  

鈥�...We have work ahead of us. We must help each other to repair this lack in us, and above all make sure that in the future, education imparted in Jesuit schools will be equal to the demands of justice in the world.鈥�

Land Acknowledgment

We are mindful that our campus and Milwaukee are the homelands and waters of the Menominee, Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, Fox, Mascouten, Sauk and Ojibwe nations, who have known these lands and waters as relatives for millennia and whose descendants alongside many other tribal nation members remain our hosts.

We are mindful of our responsibility to practice good relations with the land and water as elders and ancestors past, present and emerging have done. Our responsibility entails acknowledging these cultural traditions that inform good stewardship of our environment and practicing ongoing good relations with the sovereign nations who care for it. In the spirit of reconciliation, we can authentically create the conditions of hospitality for current Indigenous students and community members and all yet to walk with us.
