About
ABOUT UP MOREAU CENTER FOR SERVICE AND JUSTICE | Inspired by the vision of Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, rooted in Catholic social teaching, and guided by the mission of the University, Moreau Center programs center on direct service. Service is one of the key components in a Catholic education. Direct service involves directly connecting with people and programs through service. It addresses real community needs while allowing students to encounter and critically examine issues of poverty and injustice.
Students engaging with people whose life experience and perspectives may be different from their own helps to break down fears, stereotypes, and apathy and often inspires people to do more. We encourage students to make a commitment to ongoing community engagement. Members of the University of Portland community find service with and for others to be a powerful way to apply their education and faith in the world.
