Vision & Mission

Vision:

To invent the future of Catholic higher education, graduating students who will boldly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ with faithfulness and understanding, as innovators and creators, leaders and entrepreneurs.

Mission and Core Purpose:

JP Catholic will shape innovators and creators, leaders and entrepreneurs at the intersections of business, technology and communications media, guided by the spiritual, moral and social teachings of Jesus Christ.

Beliefs and Core Values:

JP Catholic is built on three core values that define its fundamental beliefs:

  • To put into action in our lives the teachings of Jesus Christ, being faithful to his word.
    The Catholic commitment at JP Catholic is organically embedded in a total, active and joyous life of faith. It aspires to dynamically develop the student’s personal knowledge of and relationship with God through an ongoing and active prayer life, both personal and communal, and a thorough knowledge of scripture, thus leading to an active living of God’s commandments.
  • To develop all students and staff spiritually, personally and intellectually.
    JP Catholic recognizes that the student's vocation is intellectual development with the ultimate purpose of becoming a mature, productive, creative and responsible citizen. JP Catholic's greatest resources are its people, and pledges to treat each person with dignity and respect. JP Catholic welcomes and respect all students, faculty and staff and appreciates diversity among its students with respect to age, intellectual talents, financial resources, creed and ethnic background.
  • To put into practice within the university what we teach, by being innovative with our curriculum development, pioneering in our educational niche, and entrepreneurial in defining our future.
    JP Catholic provides an education that emphasizes the integration of theory with practice, enhances the professional competence and ethical judgment of the student and has a particular focus on innovation and entrepreneurship. JP Catholic, in its internal business processes and procedure, practices the very principles it teaches. JP Catholic recognizes the need to maintain leadership in its niche and will be boldly entrepreneurial in maintaining its position as a leading teaching university.
