Houses of Worship

The Colleges of the Fenway, a consortium of area colleges of which Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is a member, provides a wide array of religious and support services to students, faculty, and staff of all religious backgrounds. This includes individual campus ministries, personal counseling, interfaith prayer groups, retreats, educational programs, and opportunities to volunteer in local agencies and projects. The campus ministries of the Colleges of the Fenway welcome you into our community, offer our support, and invite you to become involved in those activities of interest.
