Mercy Center for Spiritual Life
The Mercy Center for Spiritual Life encourages and supports religious and spiritual life on the Salve Regina Campus. We have our roots and find our focus in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the rich heritage of the Catholic Church and the charism of the Sisters of Mercy. In keeping with the mission of the University, we warmly welcome people of all beliefs to engage in a lively and respectful practice of their faith, to seek wisdom, to promote universal justice and to deepen their relationship with God.
The Mercy Center for Spiritual Life is located on the second floor of the Administrative Wing of New Residence. We have a spacious living room, a TV, and a small kitchen available for student use. Students and visitors are always welcome.
Activities are planned and organized by the Mercy Center Student Council, an energetic and welcoming community of students from diverse religious traditions. In collaboration with the professional staff of the Mercy Center, the council meets every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. to plan a variety of events, to engage in service and prayer, and to just take a break from hectic campus life.
