Interfaith and Ecumenical

"What is Interfaith?"

Campus Ministry honors, celebrates, and welcomes people of all faith traditions, spiritual practices, and beliefs. We are committed to providing supportive guidance, building community, and creating inclusive spaces for meaning making, exploration and spiritual development. Loyola’s Catholic, Jesuit identity calls us to nurture respect and solidarity, foster shared and diverse values, and work together for a more just and humane world. Campus Ministry invites the community not only to coexist, but to pro-exist: that is, to promote one another’s being with a message of love, with all members of our human family.

Interfaith Advisory Board

The Interfaith Advisory Board (IAB) advises and partners with the Assistant Director of Ecumenical and Interfaith Ministries, in continuing to keep Loyola a place of belonging for our religiously diverse community.
