Services Offered

The Faith & Spirituality Centre (FSC) consists of several Chaplains from various faith/religious traditions.  We offer spiritual and faith based programs, events and support to students, staff and faculty on campus. The Centre operates under four guiding principles: connecting, learning, serving, and practicing.

Drop-in centre

Students are welcome and encouraged to drop into the Centre at any time.  Our spaces provide a great place to eat, study, and converse with others.  We are located in MacEwan Student Centre 373, next to the SU Wellness Centre.

Meditation and Prayer Rooms

There is one space in our Centre (MSC 373J) and two spaces on the other side of Mac Hall (MSC 317a & 317) that students can use on a drop-in basis or by regular bookings to pray, meditate, relax or hold meetings/services.  Visit our Contact page to book our rooms.
