The Office of Spiritual and Religious Life

Spiritual and Religious Life at Trinity College provides support for students of varying religious and ethical traditions to engage with issues of meaning and faith in community with one another.

Practice. Music. Community. Justice. Wellbeing.

Spiritual and Religious Life engages students with their spiritual and religious heritages. We invite them to learn about a diversity of practices and traditions to grow their understanding of the world. We connect students to each other and to communities and needs beyond themselves and our campus. We work collaboratively with faculty and staff to promote spiritual and ethical well being across campus.

Practice
We provide opportunities for regular religious observance and spiritual practice and for moral and ethical reflection and engagement among students, across campus, and to the wider community. Distinct practices at Trinity include the historic Episcopal tradition of the college, Roman Catholicism, Jewish life, Zen Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and interfaith cooperation.

Music & the Arts
Extraordinary music making, both in concerts and services, enriches the life of the college and the wider Hartford community.

Community
We create spaces for communities of hospitality and inclusion that honor distinct traditions and perspectives while promoting respect, appreciation, and common values.

Justice
We endeavor to live out our beliefs and values through action centered on justice. Whether through advocacy, community service, immersion learning, or direct action, we develop timely, meaningful opportunities for engagement among students, faculty, and staff.

Wellbeing
We advocate the practice of spiritual, religious, intellectual, healthy relationships, and physical health so that all persons in community may thrive.

Welcome to Spiritual and Religious Life at Trinity College. We invite you to meet the people and explore the offerings of our diverse coalition of spiritual and faith traditions. Our teams serve both their own traditions and join together to address common goals, values and concerns affecting our entire campus community and beyond.
