Interfaith & Spirituality @ UTM

Interfaith & spirituality programming provides religious and spiritual support and care for the students, staff, and faculty of the University of Toronto Mississauga. It offers and supports events and programs on diverse topics that support the faith development of the campus community, provides religious and spiritual counselling, and facilitates prayer and meditation groups, learning circles, and religious and spiritual education. It serves as a resource for the Centre for Student Engagement, and as a liaison between the campus community (e.g., faith-based student groups) and Faith Groups in the Peel Region.
