uOttawa Multi-Faith Chaplaincy welcomes all students, staff, and faculty — no matter what their faith, philosophy, questions or doubts may be. While on campus (virtual or in-person), we are here to create safe and hospitable spaces that will support your spiritual wellness. Our multi-faith team of volunteer Chaplains and faith liaisons work together to provide listening ears and spiritual resources that can respond to your needs. We do this by providing pastoral care and immediate crisis response; encouraging and promoting opportunities for inter-faith dialogue and spiritual learning; working cooperatively with partners on and off campus; offering programs and events that will encourage understanding, respect and empathy among people of diverse spiritual and religious backgrounds.
