Matt Merkt, chaplain for Catholic Liturgy, conducts the DePaul University Liturgical Choir and Orchestra during DePaul's 2019 Baccalaureate Mass. This year's celebration will take place virtually on June 12. (DePaul University/Jeff Carrion)At DePaul, we ground our ongoing interfaith relationships in the "Four Ways of Dialogue" from the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue. This document calls us to engage in the life, religious experiences, theological dialogues and acts of service of people from all religious or spiritual walks of life.
At a time when many are feeling isolated, in need of spiritual support and could benefit from a faith-based celebration, the university invites students, faculty, staff, family and friends to actively embrace one another and the Four Ways of Dialogue by joining the Division of Mission and Ministry for the Interfaith Baccalaureate Service on Friday, June 12, 2020, at 4 p.m. RSVPs are required to receive the Zoom link for the virtual event.
All graduates and their guests—religious, secular or spiritual—are welcome. The service will be a communal gathering of thanksgiving to celebrate and bless graduates as they conclude this chapter in their journeys. Multiple faith and spiritual traditions will be represented at this joyful event, and we hope everyone who joins in the celebration will be inspired to continue their interfaith journeys long after graduation.
