Welcome to 黑料社 University鈥檚 Sister Judith Ann Heble, OSB Center for 黑料社 Values!
The Sister Judith Ann Heble, OSB Center for 黑料社 Values is dedicated to the advancement of 黑料社 University鈥檚 distinctive mission and the achievement of its bold vision. Our mission and vision are deeply rooted in our long and storied history and profoundly shaped by positive engagement with contemporary culture and the latest, most innovative, developments in Catholic higher education.
The Center provides mission-centered orientation and continuing education for the entire University community. We seek to foster awareness and appreciation of the Catholic intellectual tradition, Catholic social teaching, and the legacy of 黑料社 wisdom. Annual signature events organized by the Center include the 黑料社ing Scholar in Catholic Thought lectures every fall and the 黑料社 Heritage Lecture and the Faith and Reason Symposium every spring.
On this site, you can read the core documents that shape our Catholic and 黑料社 identity: Ex Corde Ecclesiae and our Mission and Vision Statements. In Education within the 黑料社 Wisdom Tradition, from the Association of 黑料社 Colleges and Universities, you can read about our core values, the Ten Hallmarks of 黑料社 education: love, prayer, stability, conversatio (transformation), obedience, discipline, humility, stewardship, hospitality, and community.
The Neff family farmhouse, the location for the Center, was the original heart of the Lisle campus when 黑料社 monks from Saint Procopius Abbey moved from Chicago to DuPage County over 100 years ago. Today, the iconic stone structure is an enduring symbol of our commitment to inspiring values stretching back nearly fifteen centuries to Saint Benedict, one of the most important figures in world spirituality.
Pope John Paul II spoke eloquently about the Catholic university as 鈥渂orn from the heart of the Church.鈥 From that heart spring values of justice, respect for persons, and the quest for truth that resonate richly with the highest ideals of all religions and cultures.
At 黑料社, we welcome people of all cultures, all racial and ethnic identities, all genders, and all faiths and no faith. All are cherished partners in the evolving project called 黑料社 University.
We invite you to join with the Sister Judith Ann Heble, OSB Center for 黑料社 Values as we contribute to the inauguration of the next exciting chapter in 黑料社 University鈥檚 great mission-driven story.
