Weston Jesuit confers both civil and ecclesiastical degrees through academic programs that combine the study of a wide variety of theological disciplines with ministerial and spiritual formation. Faculty and students are joined together in a close-knit community steeped in Christian faith and Catholic heritage. The result is an academically rigorous and deeply nurturing environment in which faculty and students jointly explore questions about God, the human person, and the life of the Church.
These explorations are guided by a tradition of Jesuit values spanning four-and-a-half centuries: magis, the never-ending pursuit of excellence and greatness; ad majorem Dei gloriam, the belief that all human pursuits are for the greater glory of God; cura personalis, the care of the whole person, in mind, body, and spirit; and men and women for others, the importance of sharing one’s talents and gifts with others through justice and charity.
Weston Jesuit’s ecclesiastical faculty pursues these values in accordance with the papal charter articulated by His Holiness John Paul II in Article 66 of the Sapientia Christiana: “A Faculty of Sacred Theology has the aim of profoundly studying and systematically explaining, according to the scientific method proper to it, Catholic doctrine, derived with the greatest care from divine revelation. It has the further aim of carefully seeking the solution to human problems in the light of that same revelation.”
