At Santa Clara University, we strive not only to deepen our personal faith, but to engage with and learn from people of other faiths. Find out more about SCU's sacred spaces.
Ecumenism (Christian Unity)
Ecumenism is the movement toward unity and community across the many expressions and traditions of the Christian faith: Catholic, Protestant, Anglican, Evangelical, Orthodox, Pentecostal or non- or post-denominational.
Diverse Christian worship and prayer
Discover the breadth and richness of the Christian family! Students from all traditions are warmly invited to Catholic mass, Protestant services, Tuesday night Loyola Liturgy, praise worship at Nightlife, and other times of prayer and meditation throughout the year. Be sure to visit the various sacred spaces on campus, as well.
Observed January 18-25, 2010, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity invites the Christian family throughout the world to pray together Jesus' prayer “that they all may be one” (John 17:21). The 2010 theme, from Luke 24, is "You Are Witnesses of These Things."
Interfaith dialogue and engagement brings together people of different religions and faiths to listen, learn and grow. Join us in this new and exciting area of Campus Ministry!
The SCU Interfaith Council is dedicated to fostering understanding, cooperation and respect among people of various faiths and traditions – within the university and the greater community – through thoughtful dialogue and meaningful relationship. Join us for Dinner Discussions on different topics every week. Contact Alison Gansert or Rev. Aimee Moiso for more information.
Throughout the year, we come together across our faith traditions to pray for issues that affect our world.
