Interfaith and Social Justice
In accordance with the mission of the University of San Francisco, University Ministry's Interfaith Social Justice Program (ISJ) invites students to step outside of their familiar university lives, and walk with people at the margins of society, and in doing so, open their minds and hearts to personal transformation done through community-based learning in the Jesuit tradition.
ISJ aims to:
Promote "faith that does justice"
Develop leaders who will fashion a more humane and just world
Inspire students to live lives of hope, passion, integrity, and purpose
Instill in students the values of services and social justice for social change
USF embraces people of all faiths. Throughout the academic year, students of all religious traditions gather to examine their own values and explore new faith traditions around campus. University Ministry offers opportunities and information about worship in other faith traditions in this community and in the local area.
The Multi-Faith Meditation Room provides a sanctuary where people of all faiths and religious traditions may retreat for prayer, meditation, and spiritual activities. The space features several design elements or symbols that are represented in all of the world's major religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Islam, Bahai, Judaism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Christianity.
From interfaith collaborations to social justice initiatives, our students are dedicated to fostering understanding and equity. Through advocacy, community engagement, and service, they embody the spirit of working with and for others. As people of diverse faiths and shared values, they are committed to building a more inclusive and just world. Discover how they are making an impact.
