As a Catholic university, we draw our inspiration from the “heart of the Church”, building on the ancient tradition which gave rise to the first universities in medieval Europe. This Catholic intellectual tradition proposes an integrated spiritual and philosophical approach to the most enduring questions of human life.
At ACU, our mission is our difference. Through the lens of the Catholic intellectual tradition, acting in truth and love, we are committed to human dignity, the pursuit of knowledge and the common good.
As a Catholic university, we are stewards of our Catholic tradition and our unique Australian heritage. Our mission defines who we are, what we do and the outcomes we strive to achieve for our students and staff. We actively support the living out of our mission in many ways and invite all our staff, students and stakeholders to join us on this journey.
The ACU Book of Prayer is a resource for all staff and students at ACU. As a university proud of our Catholic traditions, ACU is called to live out and express its Catholic character through our relationship with God in prayer.
The University Prayer in video format for use by the wider university community, is a resource that enables our community to pause and reflect as we gather for meaningful moments with staff and students.
Grounded in the university's Catholic identity and the charisms of our foundation religious communities, Campus Ministry's outreach embraces people of all faith traditions.
As a Catholic University, ACU offers a dialogue between faith and reason in which it is understood both must play an essential part.
