For pitcher and philosophy major Michael “Big Mike” Pastrana ’28, Le Moyne became more than a college—it’s where academics, athletics, and belonging come together to shape who you’re meant to be.
Rooted in the Catholic tradition and guided by the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola, we serve your religious and spiritual needs. We dedicate ourselves to the Jesuit ideal of caring for the whole person and nurturing the formation of people for and with others. We welcome and serve all religious affiliations and faith traditions.
While providing you with a Roman Catholic liturgical and sacramental life, we offer opportunities for spiritual retreats, prayer and worship, small faith communities, pastoral accompaniment and spiritual direction, and service (both locally and through domestic and international service-immersion trips). We also promote, educate and organize around issues of social justice and peace.
Located in the heart of the Panasci Family Chapel, the Grace Center for Faith and Community brings together the people, programs, and values that reflect Le Moyne’s Jesuit mission and our deep commitment to social justice. Here, you’ll find mission integration, campus ministry, cultural and social engagement, faith formation, and the Le Moyne Way all working together to create a vibrant hub for reflection, service, and connection. The Grace Center was established in Spring 2025 through the generosity of Katherine “Kathy” Grace Purcell ’66 and her late husband John Purcell ’65, whose own Le Moyne experiences were shaped by faith, community, and a sense of purpose.
