Faith and Spirituality Fair
In our continuing effort to promote interreligious understanding and dialogue at SCU, especially in this season of heightened global violence, Campus Ministry launched a new event this fall, a Faith and Spirituality Fair. On the afternoon of October 3, 2012 (following the Mass of the Holy Spirit), local churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and other religious or spiritual communities, including our student religious clubs, were invited to table on the Santa Clara Mall and to answer questions and share information about their faith and practice. We thank all the local religious groups who participated and we look forward to welcoming them back to campus again!
