About University Chaplaincies
Our diocese supports, along with our ecumenical partners, chaplaincies at Brock University, the University of Guelph, and McMaster University. The chaplaincies are places on campus for non-judgmental conversation, discernment, and connection with others.
What We Do
Chaplains are able to support students with academic, relational, spiritual, and financial concerns. Each chaplaincy undertakes ministry that is contextual to its campus, but all provide personal support, a variety of programs that range from social justice to faith formation, as well as worship opportunities and places for prayer.
Who We Do It For
Our chaplaincies are well positioned to offer spiritual care to many students, including those who have left the church of their baptism or confirmation, those who remain connected but from a distance, and those who have never had a religious affiliation. Regardless of their background, many students have questions about the meaning and purpose of life.
