2026 Lenten Walking Pilgrimage
ECUT’s Second Annual Lenten Pilgrimage on Saturday, March 28, 2026, is a spiritual journey to downtown Toronto churches that combines reflection, prayer, and community with the joy of walking together. We will visit several faith communities across downtown Toronto, pausing to pray, reflect, and build connections. This is an opportunity to walk alongside students, faculty, staff, spiritual leaders, and friends, raising awareness and support for our ministry at the University of Toronto. Together, we will grow in faith, community, and purpose.

Dear ECUT friends and supporters,
What’s on your Christmas wish list? Beyond the toys, books, and clothes we wished for as children, our Christmas lists now often hold deeper longings — for joy in our families, food on every table, healing in our communities, peace on earth, and a sense of belonging in a time that can feel lonely and isolating. Naming our hopes matters.
At the Ecumenical Chaplaincy, our Christmas wish is simple: to continue offering meaningful ministry to students. We strive to be a welcoming, just, and inclusive campus space where students can form community, ask honest questions, find care and support, and grow in faith.
This year, our ministry has included one-on-one pastoral care with students navigating the pressures of university life, weekly community gatherings to watch The Chosen (a series on the life of Jesus), Grief Cafe and other grief support groups, bible studies, community meals, Doubt Cafe for students wrestling with faith and doubt, queer interfaith meet-ups, Eco-Spirituality programs, daily prayer, regular ecumenical Taizé prayer services, and more!! Each of these spaces is making a real difference in students’ lives!!
To continue this work, we need to raise $10,000 by Christmas. Would you consider contributing $1,000, $100, $50, $25, or $10 this holiday season to help sustain our ministry? Donate Here:
Your generosity—and your prayers—help make this ministry possible. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and support.
Sincerely,
Rev. Tim Kennedy and Jeanette Unger Ecumenical Chaplains
