MULTIFAITH SERVICES

Since March, a passionate group of employees has come together to launch a monthly worship service that welcomes non-Catholic Christians across our university community. What began as a simple idea has grown into a meaningful space for connection, reflection, and shared faith.

Held once a month at the Smart Room, SAC Building, these gatherings are open to both employees and students, creating a welcoming environment where individuals from diverse Christian backgrounds can worship, share, and grow together. Each service features heartfelt praise, spiritual messages, and the warmth of fellowship that bridges across campus roles and denominations.

This initiative reflects our university’s commitment to unity, inclusivity, and spiritual wellbeing. Whether you’re a long-time believer or just curious to explore faith in community, we invite you to be part of this journey.
