SJC Chaplaincy

About chaplaincy services

Our Chaplain Rev. Helen Holbrook provides spiritual care to our community for those navigating the highs and lows of academic life. Spiritual care is about companioning with the individual as they make sense of troubling experiences or any area of the life journey. 

We are available to everyone whether you identify as spiritual, atheist, religious, or agnostic. We recognize, affirm, and work with your existing values and beliefs.
