Purpose of the committee:
What is the Ignatian Mission and Identity Committee of St. Louis University High School? The Ignatian Mission and Identity Committee, a standing committee of the Board of Trustees, exists to advise the Board in all matters concerning the Ignatian Mission and Identity of the school. St. Louis University High School's identity, as an apostolate of the Society of Jesus, centers on a vision that Ignatius of Loyola had at La Storta. In this vision, God the Father placed Ignatius with Jesus the Son as a companion; Ignatius was to work with Christ in the task of helping souls and likewise, the Father places us with Jesus Christ in this same work. This mission and identity is an explicitly Catholic, Christ-centered one, in the model of the Society of Jesus. Jesus is there, on the metaphorical battlefield, in the fight against the evils of our time, calling us to join him in imitating his self-sacrificial actions. The Ignatian Mission and Identity Committee assumes and hopes there will be several groups promoting Ignatian spirituality throughout the SLUH Community (students, teachers, staff, parents and alumni). We consider our primary role to be encouraging, supporting, educating ourselves about and monitoring the efforts to promote Ignatian spirituality at SLUH. Additionally, we envision our role to include the following:
