¹û½´ÊÓƵÌýMultifaith Services
Ìýoffers an open door to all ¹û½´ÊÓƵ and King's students, staff, and faculty — no matter what their faith, philosophy, or doubt may be. We support the spiritual wellness of students and staff and the creation of safe space on campus. We do this by providing private counseling and immediate crisis response; promoting opportunities for inter-faith dialogue and spiritual development; working cooperatively with partners on and off campus; offering programs and events designed to develop respect and understanding between and among people of diverse spiritual and religious backgrounds.

What we do

  • Offer confidential counselling on personal and spiritual issues on a drop-in basis and by appointment or online.
  • Host programs focused on spiritual wellness and spiritual practice.
  • Plan workshops, arts events, student retreats, social activities, and meals that contribute to a healthy, compassionate, and just campus environment.
  • Collaborate with university staff and students in response to a crisis on campus.
  • Help students connect with specific local communities of faith and practice, and with interfaith activities in the area.
  • Coordinate services of worship such as the annual Faculty of Medicine Service of Remembrance.
  • Upon request, provide religious rites and perform marriages.
