Office of Spiritual Life

The Office of Spiritual Life promotes the Mission of the College and consists of the offices of Spiritual Life and Community Service. The Spiritual Life and Community Service Offices are located in the Interfaith Sanctuary and promote the personal and spiritual growth of the campus community. The Office of Spiritual Life celebrates its roots in the Roman Catholic tradition and honors the multi-faith and multi-belief community that makes up The College of Saint Rose. Interfaith and ecumenical programs of prayer, liturgy and celebration invite the growth, engagement and connection of people of different faiths and beliefs that may not include faith. Yearly retreats, volunteer opportunities, workshops and individual counseling and direction are offered to students who wish to develop their spiritual lives. The Office of Community Service encourages and supports involvement in community outreach and service programs at the local, national and global levels. A large network of local agencies provides students with opportunities for service. People of all spiritual and religious beliefs and traditions as well as those who don’t identify with faith, are welcome to make our community at the College rich in spiritual insight, exploration and experience. Regardless of where one’s beliefs lie, all are encouraged to work for justice and peace.
