The RNF was established in 1963 to provide faith, arts, and culture to the scientific community of RPI. It consists of:

  • Chaplains’ Office – located within the Student Union serving all RPI student run religious groups
  • Our Chaplains
    • Fr. Larry Rice, CSP and Associate Chaplain, Tracy Watson
  • University Parish of Christ Sun of Justice

RNF is funded by gifts from parents like you, alumni, trustees, and friends.
