Finance and Higher Education

Albert DiUlio, S.J.
Secretary for Finance and Higher Education
Wisconsin Province

Father Albert DiUlio, S.J. has been serving the Jesuit Conference of the United States since February 2005, as the Secretary for Finance and Higher Education. 

In a body of work that has focused largely on education, Father DiUlio is the former president of Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, and of his alma mater, Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In hopes of bringing Catholic higher education to Ethiopia, Father DiUlio traveled to northeastern Africa at the request of Pope John Paul II. In doing so, he assisted in the founding the Catholic University of St. Thomas in Ethiopia. DiUlio then moved to an assignment half a world away, in Los Angeles serving as the first president of the archdiocese’s Catholic school system. 

Father DiUlio entered the Society of Jesus in 1965, earning a BS in business and an MA in economics, both from Marquette University. He went on to earn a Masters of Divinity from the Weston Jesuit School of Theology, and was ordained in 1974. DiUlio continued his education at Stanford University in California receiving an A.M. in Education, followed by a Ph.D. in Educational Administration and an MA in Business. 

The first to hold his current position as Secretary for Finance and Higher Education, Father DiUlio manages much of the financial assistance for the Society’s international and domestic programs. Additionally, he works as a liaison between the Jesuit Conference and the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, as well as represents the provincials of the Society on higher education to the Conference.
