Places of Worship for Students

Keep up the Tradition

For many students, being able to continue to worship, pray, and adhere to their religious beliefs is extremely important. For those students, it is important for them to be able to follow their faith and connect to their spirituality in a meaningful way while still being a student. Having a place to worship on or near campus allows them to meet other students and have a Rabbi, Minister, Bishop, or Priest to turn to should they need spiritual guidance. The University of Miami is a very diverse campus. At or around UM, there are places to worship, regardless of your students’ faith.

Shortly after my daughter began school, the first of the most important Jewish holidays were approaching (think the equivalent of Good Friday and Easter Sunday). We had always gone to services together and had large family gatherings with the entire extended family. Since the holiday fell on a weekday, she was unable to come home. So, she did what many other Jewish students did; she went to services at the University of Miami Hillel. To keep the family traditions of worship there are many religious and spiritual organizations at UM. In addition to the on-campus religious organizations, Miami has many places of worship in the city. List of the religious organizations on campus at the University of Miami.
