Faculty and Staff Programs

The Office of Mission supports faculty, administrators, staff and other members of the USD community, offering opportunities for reflection and spiritual growth, connection to the university community and insight into their role in accomplishing the mission of the institution.

The Center for Christian Spirituality

Within the Office of Mission, the Center for Christian Spirituality seeks to serve the San Diego community at large and its surrounding areas with programming that contributes to the spiritual development of all. It seeks to provide access to spiritual development through four areas: personal enrichment, academic life, professional life and social justice.

As a Catholic university, the University of San Diego draws from the wisdom of its Catholic tradition and provides means for its members to grow in their understanding and expression of the Catholic faith. It also welcomes persons of other faith traditions and those who hold no tradition. Being a Catholic university, it welcomes diversity and ecumenism and is pluralistic and inclusive.

By communicating its heritage, mission and core values and providing a comprehensive ministry program, the Office of Mission seeks to create a community in which intellectual and spiritual growth complement one another. Reason, a human gift, is regarded as compatible with faith — both seeking the truth.
