Virtual Tour

Religious and Spiritual Life

Here at Mount Holyoke, you have the opportunity to be part of a vibrant and diverse spiritual community.

Mount Holyoke is one of the few liberal arts colleges in the country to actively support nine faith groups on campus. Whether you adhere to one particular faith or are a nondenominational seeker looking for a spiritual home or homes here, you will have many opportunities to learn about, explore, and participate in a wide range of traditions and activities.

Eliot House is the center of spiritual life at Mount Holyoke. Located in the heart of the campus, Eliot House bustles with students, faculty, and staff who attend the many programs, lunches, workshops, services, feasts, and festivals that are held here. We hope you enjoy this site and that you will visit Eliot House soon!

Abbey Memorial Chapel is located across from Eliot House. Its grand main chapel is spacious enough to host large ceremonies while Abbey Interfaith Sanctuary offers an intimate home for all faith groups on campus and can accommodate small weddings.
