For the past thirty years there has existed at Carleton a chaplaincy service, part of whose function has been to share experiences, insights, friendships, and faith. It has also been involved in study and discussion groups, community projects, development education, marriage preparation, and religious services. The chaplaincy service also has connections with many organizations and resources on campus, as well as with churches and religious groups in the Ottawa area.
The two principal chaplains are the Reverend Neil Hunter (Protestant-Ecumenical), who is located in T28 and T30 Tory tunnel and can be reached at 520-4449, and Father Don Maclellan (Roman Catholic), who can be reached at 520-2896 in Room 127G, Unicentre. People are encouraged to visit at any time. Appointments are not necessary, but at times they are advisable and can be arranged by the support staff in the chaplaincy offices.
Next to the chaplaincy offices in the Tory tunnel, there is a quiet room which is used for individual meditation, religious services, and study-group activity. It is open on weekdays from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (approximately).
