Spiritual Life
Working to facilitate spiritual development and meet the spiritual needs of students.
Office of Spiritual Life
We coordinate activities to promote development and leadership skills in Simmons students, and we encourage their spiritual development. We help students connect to the larger community of their neighborhoods in the city by organizing opportunities for students to serve people in need through community service. We support students on an individual basis by providing referrals to local houses of worship and offering spiritual directing. The Office of Spiritual Life (OSL) is an opportunity for inter-faith, inter-cultural programming, and dialogue for the entire Simmons community.
Stop by the Office of Spiritual Life during office hours or schedule an appointment with any of our staff members. The OSL staff can be reached as a group via email.
The Colleges of the Fenway also offer a variety of religious opportunities.
Simmons Interfaith Team
The Simmons Interfaith Team (SIT) is a group of students who are interested in being interfaith leaders on the Simmons campus. The team meets weekly to plan interfaith events and programming for the Simmons community, while also building community with each other.
Students apply to be on SIT and are trained in interfaith discussions and event planning. If you are interested in learning more, please contact the office of Organizational Culture, Inclusion & Equity.
Resources
Simmons also encourages students to balance their spiritual life with their college experience by providing resources and making accommodations on the Residence Campus to support students who want to live a faithful life. Resources are listed below for each of the various religious communities.
