Founded in 1924 by the Sisters of St. Joseph, we are faithful to our Catholic heritage and intellectual tradition, while welcoming and respecting the contributions made by other faiths. Our mission unites our community and makes us better students, educators, and citizens of the world.
Our five core values expand on our mission and describe how we live and learn with integrity and compassion. For 100 years, Chestnut Hill College has been bringing these values to life every day through its diverse and inclusive campus community that welcomes the contributions of each member.
Discover the values we stand by and how we bring each to life throughout our college community.
This institute evolved out of the legacy of the Sisters of Saint Joseph and their mission of unity and love for all without distinction. This leads the Chestnut Hill College community to work for the healing of divisions within and among human persons and communities by promoting forgiveness and reconciliation at every level of life together.
Through an inclusive, collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach, the Institute works for the common good by teaching, advocating for and witnessing to peace-building alternatives to violence and retaliation.
Campus Ministry offers all in our community opportunities to engage both heart and mind, and gives students a groundwork to discover who they are and who they’re becoming through service, spirituality, and community building.
This team provides a variety of service opportunities to expand the horizons of participants, while facilitating reflection that can create a commitment to service for life. It also offers a variety of spirituality engagements, retreats, and ongoing prayer and worship opportunities throughout the year.
