January

World Religion Day is celebrated each year on the third Sunday of January. First observed in 1950, this day of reflection is a chance to celebrate the global and religious diversity of our QMU community and promote an understanding and union of different religions and beliefs.

Whether you are part of a religion or not, each and every one of us at QMU has a part to play in achieving the ultimate goal of World Religion Day; to help promote peace, understanding, and mutual respect amongst our different communities.

At QMU, we are proud to welcome staff and students from all faiths, spiritualities, beliefs or none. This calendar has given a special focus to religious dates as a feature, and although every effort has been made to ensure that the dates included are representative of our staff and student community, if you feel that there are significant dates missing that should be included in future calendars, please email DIW@qmu.ac.uk to let us know.

On Campus, we have a quiet Contemplation Room on Level 1 for personal prayer, reflection and contemplation, which is available to staff and students of all faiths and none.
