The Chaplain’s Office is grounded in the welcome and inclusion of students, faculty, staff, and the broader community. Our welcome embraces persons of all faith traditions, those with no faith tradition, and all who are seeking deeper meaning in life.
We work hard to engage a multitude of voices and intentionally develop spaces where we can teach and learn from one another in order to create a culture where every Laurentian’s ideas are welcomed, valued, considered, and respected.
