Faith Communities
Our resident chaplains serve as an immediate resource for students; through dialogue and spiritual conversation, general support, and presence. Resident Chaplains make themselves available to accompany the students in their journey as maturing women and men, and to cultivate the spiritual life of each floor and dormitory.
We recognize and celebrate the fact that the Le Moyne community expresses its faith through many different religious traditions. Presently, our office works intimately with the Muslim Student Association of Le Moyne College and has collaborated with the MSA’s of Syracuse University and SUNY Upstate Medical University, the Muslim American Society and other local Muslim communities, to host a number of events raising awareness of Islamic concerns locally and abroad. Our intimate relationship with these Muslim communities, and our desire to reach out to the entire Le Moyne community resulted in the establishment of a Prayer and Reflection room, located adjacent to the Shanahan Chapel, and the re-appointment of the Drescher Community room, which now holds works of art from the Jewish, Christian, Buddhist and Islamic traditions. We remain strongly committed to the ideals of freedom of religious expression and interreligious dialogue.
We recognize religious diversity as a cause for celebration, and seek to cultivate this conviction on campus.
