LGBTQ+ Faith-Based Resources
Aside from Loyola’s faith-based programs and resources for LGBTQPIA+ students, there are a number of local and national resources for LGBTQPIA+ students to explore their faith and spirituality. Around Baltimore, there are places of worship a short distance from Loyola’s campus where students can explore their faith in an environment that is welcoming, affirming, and inclusive.
