That this Jesuit institution, founded as a Catholic college and still proudly dedicated to its religious purpose, would be at the forefront of educating youths about a different religion should not be counterintuitive, Georgetown officials said. “Part of our mission and our ethos is our desire to form the whole person,” said the Rev.

To that end, a rabbi and an imam are on staff as chaplains.
