Faith and Religious Traditions

Fordham is a University in the Catholic and Jesuit traditions and we abide by the principles of religious freedom that protect the rights of individuals to practice their own religion. We welcome all of our students and hope that the richness of spiritual and religious traditions is a blessing to all of us!

- Description:
- Our Catholic Student Fellowship gatherings are centered around community and prayer. During a "normal" year, we will plan fun outings in NYC and explore our faith through different settings.

Each meeting consists of group check-ins, prayer, reflection, and faithful activities. We are always open to trying new things and exploring ways to practice our faith creatively! Some days we will do meditations, different versions of the Examen, art/craft activities, listen to music, journal, or watch videos together. All are welcome!
