As a Catholic college, Merrimack has a long tradition of interfaith relations. The Center continues that heritage, serving thousands of students, faculty, and friends of the college.  Our recent offerings include:

• The nation’s only undergraduate academic program in Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations;
• Seminars in Spain, Morocco, and Algeria to study interfaith history and contemporary challenges;
• Campus programs that connect students and young adults from different religions and cultures;
• Eight-day summer immersion in the Interfaith Youth Initiative service program; and
• Annual lectures by renowned Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars.

The Center uniquely prepares our students for the opportunities and challenges of a diverse and pluralistic society.  In the summers of 2010 and 2011 we have provided an interfaith immersion experience to seven of our students minoring in Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations. 

This past summer, Chelsea Comfort, Anna Ndamba, Neha Patel and Mark Tiberi, all Class of 2014, participated in the Interfaith Youth Initiative (IFYI) Summer Institute at Brandeis University in July 2011.  While there they attended workshops on spiritual practices, interfaith identity, peacemaking and leadership skills; walked for justice, peace and the environment; and attended religious services of various faith traditions.  The leadership and dialogue skills they developed are enriching our campus as they put their new skills into action.  Click here to read more about IFYI 2011.
