 Interfaith Union
In keeping with its mission statement, Old St. Pats extends a warm and welcoming presence to interfaith programs that share the mission of “Serving the life and work of the laity in the world.”
The Interfaith Union is a resource center for people of all religious traditions—Christian, Jewish, Muslim and others—that provides educational support, mentoring, community and faith formation for these families and for the clergy and religious communities that serve them. Its goals include:
- to provide a safe, vibrant and nurturing environment for a community of interfaith families;
- to provide educational activities for interfaith families and those interested in interfaith issues;
- to respond to the needs and issues of these families, be it in relation to their parents, grandparents or children;
- to provide a means to interact with those supportive religious communities.
In the past several years, The Interfaith Union has grown to serve families in a variety of ways: Celebration of Naming & Baptism; Formation; Education; Social; Worship.
