Interfaith Ministries | Loyola University New Orleans

Interfaith Ministries

Interfaith Ministry at Loyola is designed to support the spiritual growth of students from many faith backgrounds and to educate students about diverse faith traditions. Through partnerships with faith organizations in the Greater New Orleans area, our students and staff develop individual and ongoing programming that meets these ministry needs.

Covenant Partners

Loyola hosts various mainstream churches ministering on campus. While ministering within their own distinctive traditions, informed by the Jesuit values, Covenant Partners cooperate through monthly meetings and occasional co-programming to serve the needs of all students.
