1. To show the love of Jesus Christ. The Loyola community realizes that gifts and talents can serve others in a way that can heal their hurts, assuage their loneliness, give companionship and encouragement and enlighten minds.
2. To become aware. Through their service, we hope students will see that they receive much more than they give: that when they become healers, they themselves are healed; when they give companionship, they themselves receive companionship; when they uplift and encourage, they themselves are uplifted and encouraged; and when they enlighten, they are themselves enlightened.
3. To see God in all things. Serving others shows students that God is present in all things, all people and all situations.
