Campus Ministry
As part of the holistic care offered by UNB Student Affairs and Services, Campus Ministry is here to provide for your spiritual needs.
An Anglican Priest and Protestant Lay Chaplain are a part of the team. We can also connect you with people from various other faith traditions represented at UNB and in the city.
UNB Campus Ministry offers a listening, caring, non-judgmental ear when you need someone to talk to.
The UNB Campus Ministry office is located in the C.C. Jones Student Services Centre, room 015. Click here to find us on the campus map.
For more details, please call (506) 453-5089.

New UNB Blog - Chaplain's Corner!
UNB Campus Ministry has launched a blog! Come and blog with us! This website/blog is a space where students, staff, and faculty can ask questions and create discussions about topics that range from life, death, spirituality, prayer, religion, and anything else we wish to talk about.
The blog for the Chaplain's Corner can be found here. We hope to see you there!
As always, if you have any questions about this blog or campus ministry, you can reach me, Chaplain Kevin Bourque, via email (bourquek@unb.ca), in person (the basement level of the Student Services building – Room 015), or by phone (453-5089).
