One-Paragraph Mission Statement

Rooted in its Catholic heritage
and continuing the 450-year old Jesuit tradition of educational excellence,
Spring Hill College prepares students to become responsible leaders in service to others.

We offer our students a thorough preparation for professional excellence.

More importantly,
we strive to awaken mind and spirit to the pursuit of truth
and to an ever-deepening appreciation of
   
     the beauty of creation,
   
     the dignity of life,
   
     the demands of justice, and
   
     the mystery of God’s love.

In our community of living and learning,
we are committed to the Jesuit tradition of “cura personalis,”
that is, a care for the spiritual, social and intellectual growth of each individual.

Through informed dialogue with the world’s cultures, religions and peoples,
we promote solidarity with the entire human family.

And true to the Catholic and biblical tradition,
we nurture both the personal and social dimensions of faith,
seeking to draw students into a deeper and more vital relationship with God.
