Campus Ministry welcomes the experiences, tensions, and gifts of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons in the Seattle University Community. We honor our diversity as people made in the image and likeness of God by offering hospitality to all.
If you are looking for opportunities to bring faith into conversation with questions of gender and sexuality, we hope you will find fruitful community and support in some of our offerings.
A core principle of Ignatian Spirituality is that faith does justice. We live out a “faith that does justice” in a variety of ways across SU’s campus, and one of the primary places we do this is through Campus Ministry’s Social Justice programming. You can volunteer for service activities, engage in discussion groups, attend awareness-raising events, go on domestic and international immersion trips, join others in simple and community living, and advocate for justice on campus and around the state.
Several of our programs, like the Juvenile Justice Mentors Program, were created by SU students. Other programs, like the St. James Cathedral Kitchen homeless outreach program and Mexico Social Justice Immersion, have been changing lives for decades. Engaging justice is at the heart of Ignatian Spirituality and the mission of SU’s Campus Ministry.
