"It is the Spirit Who Gives Life" The motto of Duquesne University, a Spiritan institution, reflects the heart of Spiritan tradition. As the university aims to serve God, it strives to give back to the Spirit. For students and staff at Holy Ghost Prep, a Spiritan high school in Philadelphia, and parish schools from coast to coast, Spiritan tradition is at the center of learning. Through education at every level, Spiritans offer their unique vision of academics, community service, and spiritual formation. The lives of their students are shaped with strong values of faith, reason, service, and concern for the world. As students bring these beliefs into the world, the cycle of service continues.
