Mission

The mission of the Rensselaer Catholic community is to serve the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, its students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends.

  • The parish of Christ Sun of Justice provides a Catholic home for spiritual and service opportunities.
  • The Chapel + Cultural Center is a center for arts, humanities, and worship.
  • The Newman Catholic Fellowship and Knights of Columbus council support and nurture the faith of Catholic RPI students.
  • The Chaplain’s Office serves the spiritual needs of the whole RPI community in an environment of ecumenical and interfaith respect and collaboration.

This mission is supported by the Rensselaer Newman Foundation, whose expert guidance and generous philanthropy empower everything we do.
