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.

Peace and Justice Programs aims to promote personal and social transformation. Towards the end of achieving these two objectives our work begins through the promotion of relationships. Through facilitating service, education and immersion experiences, we aim to actively engage the Xavier community in the lives of local, national and international communities. As students, faculty and staff get caught up in the lives of our local and global neighbors, in particular the lives of those individuals and communities who reside on our world’s social, economic and political margins, our programs foment and inform the desire and imperative to respond. In order to promote effective responses (and responders) we promote social analysis.

Preaching the Just Word is a national program sponsored by the Woodstock Theological Center to assist priests and other ministers of the gospel to be more effective in preaching biblical and social justice. Conceived by Walter J. Burghardt, S.J., the project is directed by Father Raymond B. Kemp.
