Religious & Spiritual Community

At Seattle University, Catholics are invited to deepen their faith and find community through a variety of meaningful opportunities. You can attend Mass at  the Chapel of St. Ignatius, serve in the liturgical ministry, or  connect with peers at REKINDLED, our weekly Catholic student group. You can also learn more about becoming Catholic or receiving sacraments like Confirmation. From worship and retreats to social justice immersions, University Ministry offers many ways to grow in faith during your time at SU. Visit our Catholic Community and Sacraments page to learn more!

Seattle University is home to a vibrant community of non-Catholic Christian students, and University Ministry is here to support your spiritual growth and sense of belonging. You can find your faith home through one of our Christian student groups, such as InterVarsity. Kick off the year by attending our Christian Student Dinner, a great way to meet others and build community. Throughout the year, you're invited to join retreats, explore interfaith and ecumenical events, and connect with local houses of worship. Our University Ministers are also available to help you find a worship community that fits your tradition.

Seattle University's Muslim Student Association (MSA) is here to offer you a vibrant and welcoming space to connect, build community, and celebrate your identity. Through social gatherings, community events, and meaningful dialogue, you'll find opportunities to meet fellow Muslim students, engage in shared experiences, and help shape a supportive and empowering presence on campus.

Our Jewish community is a close-knit and vibrant community. Jewish Student Union creates space for Jewish students to connect, celebrate, and explore their identities through religious, cultural, and social events on campus. Whether you're looking to observe traditions, build friendships, or simply find a sense of belonging, JSU is here to foster a strong sense of community. We also collaborate with the University of Washington's Hillel to help expand opportunities for connection and engagement across the wider Jewish student network in Seattle.

Buddhist students will find a meaningful opportunity to deepen their practice and connect with others through EcoSangha; a community rooted in both spiritual reflection and environmental responsibility. Inspired by the Buddha's teachings and the Four Noble Truths, EcoSangha invites you to explore how Buddhist values of compassion, mindfulness, and interconnection can guide our response to ecological and social suffering. Whether you're looking to grow in your spiritual path, engage in thoughtful dialogue, or take action for the planet, EcoSangha offers a welcoming space to do so in community.
