Duquesne Education: Mission and Dimensions

"Our students, faculty and staff are taught how to use all aspects of the distinctly Duquesne experience to go from our small corner of Pittsburgh out into the larger world where they can serve all peoples in their professional and personal lives."

What Spiritans Do

The Spiritan Charism

"Spiritans are committed to the renewal of evangelization in a healthy and respectful manner, going to meet other people and religions without seeking to dominate them.  We must first – through education and community service — help the oppressed and disadvantaged overcome the problems that make every day a struggle. This service becomes our witness to God’s love for the poor. From our witness and service, we then hope to introduce people to the Word of God."
