Hi, we're NICA.



Newton's Interfaith Clergy Association



We are a network of spiritual leaders who support the city of Newton, MA as actively engaged chaplains and community allies.



Engaged Chaplains



We are partnered with Newton's Mayor's Office, the Newton Human Rights Commission, the Harmony Foundation, Newton Police, Housing and Development Offices, and countless non-profit organizations to encourage harmony and unity while modeling solidarity and a unified pride for our city.



Community Allies



We are committed to building a welcoming faith culture, where people from all walks of life can find belonging and community. Newton's faith community is diverse and we seek to build a culture of allyship that values the individual and their personal spiritual journey of which we are privileged to shepherd. It is our hope that every member of our community; people of color, LGBTQIAP+ community, people of faith and those who align to no particular faith, and people of various nationalities and documentation will know that they are all our neighbors and will find a safe place in this community.



We strive to do good and model inclusivity as a collective interfaith community through outreach, dialogue, activism and as the moral conscience of our community.
