Ulster Project Cincinnati

Ulster Project Cincinnati

“Ulster” is synonymous with Northern Ireland. The Ulster Project works for peace between Catholics and Protestants in a country that has had centuries of tension and violence between the two groups. (See below.) Each July, teens from Enniskillen (County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland) come to Cincinnati and stay with host teens and their families. During the month, the teens and families participate in a variety of activities designed to foster friendship and understanding.


Interfaith Youth Programs

Xavier’s Center for Interfaith and Engaging Difference

At Xavier University, separate campus ministry, peace & justice, and interfaith engagement offices have recently merged into one center that takes a multi-faith approach to spiritual formation, as well as an interfaith approach to engaging difference. With a diverse staff of religious professionals and clergy, led by an Interfaith Program Director, students and staff will spend the 2019-2020 academic year engaging a strategic planning process to launch a new phase on interfaith work among student communities on campus. Read more at https://www.xavier.edu/cfj/interfaith.

Interested in this process? Contact Rabbi Jennifer Lewis.

This process also allowed the center an opportunity to engage faith & race more directly. Interested in these conversations? Contact Rev. Nelson Pierce, Jr.

Ongoing programs, such as our annual Envision leadership retreat, immersion trips, and some service sites, engage religious and identity based differences in reflection and social action. Dorothy Day Immersions is one such program that looks at racial injustice and economic disparities through the lenses of faiths that do justice. These annual trips run the week before school resumes in January with a yearlong formational program. Contact Shannon Hughes for more information. Applications to participate are due a few weeks into each fall semester.

Interfaith Youth Core

‘IFYC offers on-campus engagements to support colleges and universities as they seek to elevate and highlight interfaith cooperation as a campus-wide priority.

Engagement consultations help campuses build environments that support interfaith cooperation, equip campus leaders, cast vision, and set strategic goals. Guiding our work are key leadership practices, which we believe have the highest potential impact for transformational change.

Whether your campus is just beginning to consider interfaith cooperation as a priority or already has an interfaith strategy in place, IFYC can offer an external perspective that will help advance your efforts. We primarily provide value to our campus partners in the following ways:

  • IFYC is a catalyst: We use an asset based approach to identify internal resources that will help campus leaders build and sustain interfaith cooperation
  • IFYC is a convener: We create spaces for committed administrators, staff, faculty, and students to broaden participation in and deepen commitment toward interfaith cooperation
  • IFYC is comprehensive: We draw on an extensive toolkit to help campuses achieve and measure results.’
