Description
The LI Office of Campus Ministry is committed to creating
programing and other opportunities for our campus community that reflects the
mission and pillars of our University, particularly those of spiritual depth,
social responsibility, and service. The Faith in Action initiative serves to
empower students to delve deeper into their understanding of faith, the world
at large, and our local community through service, dialogue, and outreach.
Donations support
Your donation will help support a number of different programs and opportunities to help students grow in their faith and deepen their commitment to helping out those who are in need in our community. This initiative covers three different areas:
1. Local Service Projects- This initiative
will help students participate in local service opportunities such as
volunteering in food pantries/soup kitchens, building homes with Habitat for
Humanity, community clean ups, and nursing home visits. The funds raised will
help cover the cost of transportation, supplies, and meals for student
volunteers.
2. Interfaith Education and Programming- The
Faith in Action initiative aims to support the development of interfaith
dialogue between our campus and outside organizations as well as creating
programing for our students to expand their worldviews and expose them to
different traditions. Support will go to help bring guest speakers, musicians,
and other outside groups to our campus for presentations and days of
reflection. Funding will also be utilized for interreligious programming and
educational events such as dialogue circles, religious celebrations, and other
inclusive programming.
3. Spiritual Resources- In order to help
deepen the spiritual depth of our students, support for Faith in Action will
also go towards purchasing devotionals, prayer guides, and other reflective
materials that will be utilized in programs and in an interfaith library
located in our new Interfaith Room.
