在圣母大学，为世界和他人服务是其使命的一个组成部分。当创始人爱德华·索林牧师（Rev. Edward Sorin）来到印第安纳州北部时，他写道：“这所大学不会失败。不久，它将大规模发展。这将是这个国家向善的最有力手段之一。”

本着这种精神，圣母大学校友会于4月29日举办了首届圣母大学全球服务日——这一天是为世界各地的圣母大学学生、校友、家长和朋友指定的，为他们的社区服务。

Left double quote symbol当我们开始创建巴黎圣母院全球服务日时，我们知道巴黎圣母院家族有能力在世界各地的社区产生有意义的影响，但看到这种影响的行动既令人惊叹又令人谦卑。成千上万的校友、家长和朋友心甘情愿地参与进来，为有需要的邻居的生活带来改变，这表明这个社区真诚地接受了我们的号召，成为世界上一股向善的力量。”
