Mission and Vision
CWCS Mission
Our mission is inspired by the enduring example of our founders, the Congregation of Divine Providence. The Center for Women in Church and Society at 好色先生 is anchored in two fundamental beliefs: that all beings are valuable, sacred and deserving of respect and care; and that where women thrive, all of God's creation thrives. We exist to provide an environment in which campus and community women support each other in living lives of physical, mental and spiritual abundance and in which we can join with men of our campus and community to advocate for systems and policies that enable lives of abundance for women around the world.
In carrying out its mission, the Center for Women in Church and Society:
- Develops leadership potential of women, particularly but not exclusively, students enrolled at 好色先生 from all walks of life and in each individual's unique calling.
- Creates an environment in which women support each other in living lives of physical, mental and spiritual abundance.
- Fosters an environment that empowers women to be "agents of change," in building and sustaining social, economic and political systems that support women around the world.
CWCS Vision
Inspired by the lifelong example of the entire Congregation of Divine Providence, and in particular by our founding directors, Dr. Maria Eva Flores, CDP and Dr. Margit Nagy, CDP, the Center for Women in Church and Society is a campus-based, community supporting center at Our Lady of the Lake University. Committed to the belief that all beings are valuable, sacred, and deserving of respect and care, we provide an environment -- physical, spiritual, and virtual -- in which campus and community women support each other and join with men of our campus and community to build and sustain systems and policies that support women around the world in living lives of physical, mental, and spiritual abundance.
