Religious Diversity

Welcome!

Our Religious Diversity and Loop Ministries provides pastoral leadership, support and advocacy to the diverse religious and spiritual communities and persons of DePaul by cultivating a faith- and interfaith-friendly culture, providing pastoral and organizational support to all our Student Religious Organizations, and sustaining interfaith leadership, programming and cooperation on the Lincoln Park and Loop campuses as well as through on-line resources.

In our care for religious diversity, we actively seek to create a genuine Spirit of Hospitality in all our services and encounters. In our hospitality, we invite one another to our sacred spaces and to conversations that are guided by our Four Ways of Interfaith Dialogue and the spiritual values of our respective faith communities.

We look forward to our time together at DePaul!
