Interfaith Chaplaincy

Chaplains & Advisors

Our Chaplains and Advisors represent the diverse religious and spiritual communities who are their sponsors, and are available to all members of the USM community for personal or group consultation or programming and services in their respective traditions. Chaplains are theologically trained and credentialed religious professionals; Advisors are knowledgable lay representatives of their traditions. Feel free to contact them directly. They will be happy to hear from you!
