EXAMINING BELIEFS RELIGION Continued from previous page specifically toward students. "It's easier to direct sermons at students because in home parishes there is a range of ages, and many times this [college] age group is ignored," Catholic Co-Chaplin Litwinowicz said. Not all students, however, feel welcome in the religious organiza­ tions on campus. Robert Rosello '98 and Michelle Rivera '97 said they are not in­ volved with religion on campus because they do not feel as comfort­ able at the chapel as they do at home. ''The Chapel doesn't remind me of church," Rivera said. "I already have a relationship with my priest in church at home," Rosello said. "I don't want to change, I'm not sure if the school would adjust to me." Other students have had nega­ tive experiences practicing their faith on campus.
