To You with Gratitude

St. Ignatius instructed that gratitude is the foundation of our prayer to God.

Gratitude is more than an attitude or a helpful strategy. It’s a way of praying, a way of seeing, a way of remembering, and ultimately a way of proceeding.

St. Ignatius and the Jesuit priests who followed him also referred to each other, actually all people, as companions.

Our alumni, friends, parents, students, faculty and staff at Rockhurst University are companions in the vital work of advancing the Jesuit Catholic mission that is alive and well right here at 54th and Troost. It is with deep, reverent gratitude for your companionship and your investment in our students and mission.

Higher education is not protected by the economics of our time. Some factors and pressures will be a challenge to the University.

Together, as companions, we will meet those challenges with confidence and grace.
