MISSION STATEMENT



Saint Paul University, in Ottawa, is a Catholic and bilingual institution entrusted for more than a century and a half to the

Congregation of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Endowed with civil (1866) and pontifical (1889) charters,

Saint Paul University has been federated with the University of Ottawa since 1965.

As a Catholic institution, Saint Paul University is dedicated primarily to an understanding and integration of Christian

faith and life. It intends to pursue this task in a spirit of oecumenical openness and with a critical awareness of the forms of

Christian life already existing or now emerging within modern cultures and societies.

As a bilingual institution, Saint Paul University wishes to contribute to the mutual understanding and enrichment of the

English- and French-speaking communities, while remaining attentive to the cultural diversity of the country.

As a centre of higher learning, Saint Paul University intends, within the local, national and international academic community,

to promote excellence in teaching, research, and professional formation. It endeavours as well to serve diverse Christian

communities and socio-cultural organizations and, in collaboration with them, to try to meet the challenges presently

confronting Church and society.

Thus, by participating in the evangelizing mission of Christ, Saint Paul University hopes to contribute creatively to the

humanization of society.







GOALS



1. To promote, within a context of academic freedom and interdisciplinary exchange, a climate enhancing university activity

which takes seriously contemporary developments in the sciences and other fields of knowledge.

2. To foster, in the light of faith and with full respect for each person, the integral development of members of the university

community.

3. To assure the human and material resources necessary for a vigorous academic environment.

4. To generate the means necessary for the communication and exchange of knowledge and the results of scholarly

research.

5. To establish and maintain relationships with appropriate ecclesial and social bodies.

6. To be a meeting place between the Church and the various contemporary cultures, religions and specialized fields of

knowledge.

7. To assert and protect through appropriate means the bilingual character of the University.

8. To encourage critical awareness of present ethical concerns.

9. To create a greater sensitivity to current social justice issues.

10. To be attentive to the educational needs of the individuals and groups it is called upon to serve and to answer these needs

as adequately as possible.

11. To develop relevant teaching and research programs.
