USM Founders and Sponsors
The University of Saint Mary is shaped by the educational mission of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth.
In all our ministries
we see Christian education as one of
the great acts of
charity: serving others at the fullest
points of their needs and ministering
to their need to know and come to the
truth, to be opened to the good and the
beautiful, to understand the past, to
confront and help shape the future, to
be called to justice, to be more fully
and completely human and Christian."
