Welcome to the Office of Spiritual Life

We support the nurturing of the whole person—mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and social. Whether you're grounded in a faith tradition, exploring spirituality, seeking purpose, or approaching life without faith, you’ll find a welcoming and inclusive community here. Our office offers programs and resources to foster spiritual well-being, helping you navigate life’s challenges and live with meaning."

Our Mission

The Office of Spiritual Life is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and welcoming space where students of all beliefs and backgrounds can explore questions of faith, identity, purpose, and values. We support each student’s journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth through open dialogue, authentic relationships, and meaningful experiences.

Interfaith Chapel in the Stu

The James P. O'Toole Chapel, located on the second floor of the Student Center, provides a welcoming space for worship and prayer services, private and group meditation, spiritual counseling, student religious group meetings, and conversations on various spiritual and social topics. Meditation cushions and Muslim prayer rugs are available for use.

Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is compassionate support offered by a chaplain or spiritual advisor to help you navigate life’s challenges—whether you're going through a tough time, facing a big decision, or just need someone to talk to. It’s rooted in deep listening, presence, and respect for your beliefs, background, and personal journey. You don’t need to be religious to receive pastoral care—it’s about being cared for as a whole person: emotionally, spiritually, and personally.

Prayer Box

A prayer box is available in the Chapel as a quiet way for students to share their thoughts, hopes, and concerns. Whether you're seeking comfort, guidance, or simply want to express gratitude, you're invited to write a prayer or reflection and place it in the box. It's a simple, meaningful way to connect with your spirituality and find peace in the midst of a busy college life. All submissions are private, respected, and prayed over.

Faith-Based Communities on Campus

Curry Christian Fellowship (CCF)

A community of students committed to growing in their Christian faith. As we seek to deepen our understanding and follow Jesus Christ, we invite students from all cultures and faith traditions to join us. Our activities include Bible studies, prayer meetings, social events, campus outreach, conferences, mission trips, and more. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where students can connect, learn, and grow together.

Curry Hillel

A club for Jewish students and their friends to come together and celebrate Jewish life on campus. Through meaningful social experiences, religious programming, and partnerships with other clubs, we serve a broad spectrum of Jewish life on campus.

Hillel Council of New England

As part of the Hillel Council of New England, students have the opportunity to engage with Jewish peers from all twelve of our campuses across Greater Boston. We host frequent regional programs such as Israel Palooza, Regional Shabbat, and our Spring Celebration. Additionally, we offer ongoing learning opportunities, including the Jewish Learning Fellowship, an 8-week program where students are paid to learn.

Talk with the Chaplain

Looking for guidance or spiritual support? The Director of Spiritual Life offers confidential support to students, meaning your conversations will remain private. Students often speak with chaplains for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Seeking spiritual guidance and direction
  • Exploring faith, religion, and moral questions
  • Gaining a deeper understanding of sacred texts
  • Navigating identity-related topics
  • Discussing relationships
  • Receiving pastoral counseling or support during a crisis
  • Coping with transitions or unexpected life events
