Shared Mission Program Lunch and Conversation Is February 12
02/05/2025
SLU’s Division for Mission and Identity invites faculty and staff to participate in the Shared Mission program at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 12, in the Pere Marquette Gallery.
The Shared Mission program offers an in-depth, community-based opportunity for faculty, staff, administrators and trustees of Saint Louis University. This foundational program opens the door for deeper participation in the wide variety of mission programs offered by SLU's Division for Mission and Identity.
The ongoing formation of SLU's community strengthens the Catholic Jesuit mission of the university, a mission steeped in over five centuries of history in the Ignatian tradition yet arguably more vital now than ever before.
Over the course of an academic year, six Ignatian luncheons bring together small group cohorts to meet, learn, discuss, and integrate the history, impact and lived reality of the Jesuit mission and Ignatian identity of Saint Louis University. Participants in the Shared Mission program come from diverse academic, professional and religious backgrounds.
All are welcome to participate as the group seeks to form an Ignatian “band of companions” centered on mission as SLU seeks to build a community of belonging.
The next session, Session Four, focuses on the Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society of Jesus. Attendees will learn about the global Jesuit mission and reflect on the following questions.
- How do current global realities impact what we do here at Saint Louis University?
- How can I contribute to the work of the Jesuit mission in light of these preferences?
- “Think globally; act locally.” - Patrick Geddes
