Rooted in Catholicism, Rosemont welcomes all faiths and is guided by the educational principles of Cornelia Connelly and the Society of the Holy Child Jesus to meet the time's needs. The Mission of Rosemont College flows from the educational philosophy of the sponsoring religious congregation, which opened Rosemont in 1921, the Holy Child Jesus Society. This philosophy is imbued with the spirit and educational principles of the Founder of the Society, Cornelia Connelly. This Holy Child education is a clearly defined yet flexible ideal, rooted in Christian values and expressions, attuned to learning opportunities that enable students to respond to life with joy, zeal, and compassion. The only College in a world-wide network of Holy Child educational Institutions, Rosemont, is grounded in the Holy Child philosophy, which encourages students to meet diversity and change with confidence in their gifts and in God, who has made a covenant with the human family. Our mission is "To enable the College to learn the theme, all of the constituencies of the College receive a mission theme prayer card and a bulletin board banner.
