Grow spiritually, connect with community, serve your neighbor, develop your leadership

Mount Saint Mary鈥檚 is committed to the education of the whole person, for whom spiritual life is central. As a Catholic university with a deep foundation in social justice, we draw upon a vibrant spiritual and intellectual tradition that welcomes searching minds, curious spirits, care for all of creation, and rich encounters between people of varied faith traditions.

The Mount sees spiritual life as an important component of overall wellness, and values the range of religious traditions and beliefs in our community. There are many opportunities to explore and many ways to serve and to work for global justice.

Through continued prayer, listening and learning, we grow as a Mount community in caring for people and our planet as dear neighbors, inspired by our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.

Mount Saint Mary鈥檚 joins in that commitment, fostering development of deep relationships with God, with the world鈥檚 most vulnerable and with our planet. Students have many opportunities to personally know our Sisters through visits, in prayer experiences, working side-by-side on social justice issues, and by learning about their history, their values and their charism.
