Welcome to CERA!

Penn State recognizes that the well being of its students, faculty, and staff - and their ability to lead healthy, fulfilling lives - is a product of their intellectual, cultural, moral and spiritual development.

The largest multi-faith center of its kind in the country, The Pasquerilla Spiritual Center is home to the Center for Ethics and Religious Affairs (CERA), which offers a welcoming, safe, inclusive environment for the Penn State community to explore a multitude of faith traditions in a compassionate, open-minded setting. CERA aims to promote an environment that stretches beyond tolerance to a genuine appreciation of and respect for religious and spiritual diversity.
