MfSC: A place to connect!

There’s lots of ways to connect at MfSC and on campus:

come to Changing Leaves, our reading week contemplative walk or Breath Body Mind to slow down, move your body and connect to yourself & others.
join a Sacred Site Visit to learn about faith communities in Montreal
check out a student faith group to find a community of like-minded people. Can’t find a group that fits your interests? Check out all the Concordia student groups or think about starting your own.

Are you part of a group of students planning a project that supports MfSC’s mission of opening hearts and minds to diverse expressions of the human spirit? We have grants (up to $500) to support events, retreats and other projects. Get more info and apply by Nov 3.
