For students

Student life can be stressful at times. Many things may trouble you: where to live, study, find friends, and work? Such questions and worries are very common. When you share them with someone and together look for answers, life will be a lot brighter.

We have chaplains working in universities of applied sciences (Laurea and Metropolia) and secondary schools (such as Varia and Mercuria). You can sit down with them for a chat in a café on campus or contact them by e-mail or text message. So whatever your concern, be it great or small, you need not deal with it alone. 

We also organise courses on relationships and religious and spiritual issues for students. 

During the corona pandemic, we offer you support through social media, WhatsApp and mobile phone. If you can't reach us immediately, please leave us a message, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. 

Our support is for students and staff. So don't hesitate to contact us!
