Interfaith Chaplaincy

Supporting Religious and Spiritual Life in all its Expressions
Religious and Spiritual Life in Diverse Expressions

USM Religious & Spiritual Life (formerly Interfaith Chaplaincy) provides support for all members of the university community in religious and spiritual development as well as interfaith respect, appreciation, and cooperation. 

Our work is guided by these goals for student learning as a result of participating in our programs:

Students will learn

  • to clarify their own beliefs and values;

  • to connect their beliefs and values to their choices and actions; and

  • to understand and relate respectfully to those whose beliefs and values are different from their own.
