Traditions and festivities
There’s much to celebrate and learn throughout the year in special days of our Mount’s CSJ traditions and our Catholic heritage, enriched by the sacred festivities of a variety of religions. Gather for a meal during Ramadan, celebrate Passover, make Advent wreaths and Mardi Gras masks, get to know our Sisters of St. Joseph - all with Mount friends and colleagues.
The Mount’s commitment to justice
Our commitment is rooted in Catholic social teaching based on Gospel values that inspire our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.
Rooted in the charism and heritage of our CSJs, we are called to educate our students to become leaders who embody and foster a spirit to serve others and promote positive change in the world. As such, our mission, values and vision statements will continue to reflect our profound commitment to excellence through our foundational principles of social justice, diversity and inclusivity….
Take action and serve others
Mount students, staff, faculty and administration prioritize working for justice in many areas. Campus Ministry & Spirituality teams educate themselves and others, develop programs, and do political advocacy related to the following issues.
- Homelessness
- Care for the planet
- Fair Trade
- Prison ministry
- Hunger
- Racism
- Support for students
Caring for the planet
Today, however, we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.
