The University of Ottawa provides space on campus for students and the broader university community for multifaith chaplaincy services offered by Ottawa Campus Chaplaincy, an independent organization.

Taking care of your spiritual wellness

The Ottawa Campus Chaplaincy welcomes all students, staff, and faculty — no matter what their faith, philosophy, questions or doubts may be. Their multifaith team of volunteer chaplains and faith liaisons work together to provide listening ears and spiritual resources that can respond to your needs. 

What they do

  • Host programs focused on spiritual wellness and spiritual practice
  • Help students connect with specific local communities of faith and practice, and with interfaith activities in the area
