Mission and Ministry

The Department of Mission and Ministry has particular care for the mission, goals, vision, and values of Mount Mercy. It identifies and reflects the key aspects of Mount Mercy's Catholic Identity and Mercy Mission: celebrating the heritage, mission, and Mercy charism of the Sisters of Mercy who founded the University.

The Department strives to promote Mount Mercy's Catholic Identity through expressive articulations of faith and service, infusing Mercy into core aspects of students' lives and empowering them to discover and articulate this meaning for themselves. Additionally, the Department includes Campus Ministry, Service & Justice, and Mission Integration; each of these groups collaborates in celebrating the rich legacy of the Sisters and working to develop a culture of “living Mercy" on the Hill and beyond.

All work to create a welcoming atmosphere where all faiths and beliefs can come together and be celebrated in meaningful ways. Hospitality, which is at the heart of our Catholic Mercy university, invites people from all backgrounds, faith traditions, and perspectives to be valued in the collaborative pursuit of intellectual, spiritual, and holistic personal growth.
