Edmund Campion

Saint Edmund Campion, S.J., (24 January 1540 — 1 December 1581) was an English Catholic Jesuit priest and martyr. While conducting an underground ministry in officially Anglican England, Campion was arrested by priest hunters. Convicted of high treason, he was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn. Campion was beatified by Pope Leo XIII in 1886 and canonised in 1970 by Pope Paul VI as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. His feast is celebrated on 1 December.

Our Mission for Edmund Campion

The vision of Jesuit education draws its inspiration from the life and teaching of Jesus Christ and is based on the principles of character formation drawn up by St. Ignatius of Loyola. The Jesuits engaged in educational work throughout the world for the last 450 years, reaffirm the conviction that the formation of youth through our educational institutions continues to be one of the foremost services we can render to our people. We believe that an essential need of our country is for a community of persons with deep faith, sound knowledge, intellectual and emotional maturity and moral integrity, persons able and willing to render generous service to their fellowmen and women in building up a truly human society. It is therefore to the formation of such a community of persons that we commit our educational institutions. The education we impart includes both physical and intellectual development as well as acquisition of useful skills in all of which we aim at excellence.
