About Us
read moreThe Christian ideal of education is based on love, solidarity, the common good, truth and justice. In our view, true education is a moral activity which has at its heart the fundamental worth of each person and the belief in a higher common good to which each belongs and through which each expresses her/his common God-given humanity. Education is simultaneously a sacred and secular activity which is intrinsically linked to the process of becoming a fully human and spiritual being. It seeks a synthesis of competence and conscience.
Mission Statement
read moreOur purpose is to make a distinctive contribution of service and excellence, in the Catholic tradition, to higher education in Northern Ireland. St Mary's is an academic community committed to the search for meaning and value in the intellectual life, to academic excellence and to individual attention for students. We work for the development of the whole person in a Christian, values-sensitive environment in preparation for a lifetime of learning, leadership and service. We want the College to be a religious, educational, cultural and social resource for the local community and to show concern for the poor and powerless.
