Loyola Stritch School of Medicine Campus Ministry
About:
Developing compassionate physicians and scientists
A unique, supportive school community
Stritch is one of four medical schools in the United States rooted in Jesuit, Catholic values. While we welcome students of all faiths, Jesuit values are central to our curriculum, how faculty teach, how students learn, and how together we build community. Stritch faculty – clinicians, scientists, researchers, and ethicists – along with students and staff, live the School's mission:
Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine (Stritch) is committed to scholarship and the education of medical professionals and biomedical scientists. Our faculty, trainees, students, and staff, are called to go beyond facts, experimentation, and treatment of disease to prepare people to lead extraordinary lives and treat the human spirit in an environment that encourages innovation, embraces diversity, respects life, and values human dignity.
Health Sciences Campus Ministry
Health Sciences Campus Ministry has a three-fold mission that focuses on the members of the Loyola University Chicago Health Sciences Campus. Inspired by Ignatian values and the practical spirituality of finding God in all things we work towards:
Shaping Community
Through educational programs and events, prayer and worship, hospitality and outreach, social activities and attention to the needs of the individual we build a welcoming and inclusive community for students, staff and faculty.
Seeking Faith
We journey with the people who teach, learn and work at the Health Sciences Campus by providing spiritual formation and faith development while facilitating individual and communal prayer. True to our experience of the Gospel, we welcome and engage individuals of all faith backgrounds or traditions to grow into becoming men and women for others.
Serving Broadly
By embracing a worldview that is both local and global we facilitate and sponsor opportunities for members of the Health Sciences Campus to work with underserved communities in the greater Chicago area and beyond.
