Jesuit High School

2. Mission & Identity
Today our prime educational objective must be to form men and women for others; men and women who will live not for themselves but for God and Christ Men and women who cannot even conceive of love of God which does not include love for the least of their neighbors; men and women completely convinced that love of God which does not issue in justice for others is a farce.
--Pedro Arrupe, SJ, former Superior General of the Society of Jesus
