Spirituality

At Barry University, our interest extends beyond your academic and career development; we are interested in you as a full person. This, of course, includes paying attention to your spiritual growth and the deepening of your relationship with God and neighbor. 

Whether you are Catholic or you belong to another faith tradition, campus ministry staff can help you express and develop your spiritual life. A variety of events and programs as well as pastoral counseling and spiritual direction are available to give you the support and insight you need. 

Firmly grounded in Catholic tradition and fashioned around the Four Pillars of the Dominican order - study, prayer, community and preaching -- we invite all members of the Barry community into a closer relationship with God and do so with openness to students, faculty, and staff of all faiths and traditions.

Spiritual enrichment activities and community outreach programs are designed to be inclusive, incorporating all students seeking spiritual guidance and an avenue to express love of neighbor. At least one interfaith service is held annually (generally the Seder), and interfaith dialogues are scheduled throughout the academic year. Catholic liturgical and worship services are held in Cor Jesu Chapel and are open to all.
