The Colleges of the Fenway provides a wide array of religious and support services to
students, faculty, and staff of all religious backgrounds. This includes individual campus ministries, personal counseling, interfaith prayer groups, retreats, educational programs,
and opportunities to volunteer in local agencies and projects. A critical component of the
college experience is having an opportunity for personal reflection, getting involved, and
giving something back to one's community and to society. The campus ministries of the
Colleges of the Fenway welcome you into our community, offer our support, and invite
you to become involved in those activities of interest.
