Faith Groups

The Office of Religious & Spiritual Life supports nine active faith groups on campus. If you would like to be on a faith group's email list to receive information about their upcoming events, submit an online Faith Group Contact Request Form.

• Bahá'í
• Buddhist- student org: Buddhist In Gathering (BIG)
• Catholic- student org: Newman Association
• Hindu- student org: Sisters in Hinduism Reaching Inward (SHRI)
• Jewish- student org: Jewish Student Union
• Muslim- student org: UMMA
• Pagan/Wiccan- student org: Pagan and Wiccan Collective
• Protestant
• Unitarian Universalist
• Multifaith Council

Each of the nine faith groups has a chaplain or religious adviser who meets with the group weekly for a formal service, a gathering for prayer or meditation, or a group meeting. Each faith group has the freedom to plan its own services, events, retreats, and community service projects and to initiate special offerings for the College community as a whole.

Eliot House is also a catalyst for considerable interfaith dialogue and programming. Believing that interfaith work enhances understanding of different faith groups and strengthens understanding of one's own beliefs, Eliot House offers a weekly Interfaith Lunch and an Interfaith Worship Service each semester and supports an active Multifaith Council composed of three members of each faith group and anyone who would like to learn about different religions. For more information, email the Multifaith Council.
