The mission of the Arrupe Program is to promote the pursuit of truly human values by business managers and executives and the people who run them. The program offers an eight-week seminar entitled Faith and Values at Work, to help the participants develop a faith-centered framework for thinking about themselves, the purpose of business, and the vocation of organizational leadership. The Arrupe Program has also developed a one-day workshop centered around these same themes for groups of Jesuit high school and university alumni, and a values-based course, The Foundations Seminar, for use with business management teams.

The Centro Altagracia is dedicated to faith in action; promoting social justice through active collaboration with parishes, community organizations, and individuals and through initiatives that serve the needs of the community as those needs have been identified by the Hispanic community of northern Manhattan. We seek to awaken awareness within individuals of how their Catholic, Christian faith calls them to be aware of the issues impacting their community and to be engaged in action to address these issues. Among the Centro's programs are: Social/Pastoral Ministry Teams that serve as coordinators and catalysts for social awareness and action within parishes; H.E.L.P. (Hispanic Evangelization Leadership Program) that trains young adults for leadership roles within their parishes; and G.R.A.C.E. (Gaining Respect and Awareness through Community Education) which addresses the issue of domestic violence. The Centro also maintains a library of books and DVDs for community use.

Dolores Mission became a parish in 1945, after twenty years as a mission for nearby
St. Mary's Parish. By then, public housing had become a fixture of the neighborhood.
In 1980, the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) came to the parish in response to a
request from Cardinal Timothy Manning, the archbishop of Los Angeles at the time.
