A JESUIT HUB

The pace of change has accelerated in the 21st century and the role of technology in our lives continues to grow. As we use technology to network with one another, we have become more connected, yet less personal and intimate. We have observed that Loyola serves as a spiritual, educational and social hub for students, parents and alumni seeking more meaningful connections. To maximize these connections and expand what we offer as a Jesuit, Catholic resource for our community, we will:

• partner with the local Church, especially our feeder parishes, to share Catholic resources;
• partner more effectively with our feeder schools;
• deepen our relationship with Jesuit colleges and universities, with a special emphasis on Loyola University Chicago;
• connect our alumni to Loyola and to one another through social networking events and activities focusing on faith formation and professional networking;
• engage young alumni in their 20s and 30s in ongoing formation, networking and leadership development;
• offer parent faith and education programs.
