Lent 2012

This weekly meal and scripture program gives young adults the opportunity to reflect on the Sunday readings during Lent in a setting that builds community and provides nourishment for body and soul.

Be part of a scripture reflection group and take advantage of this opportunity for prayer, scripture study, and intimate faith sharing in a season that lends itself to deepening a spiritual practice.

This program includes a trip to the soup kitchen, scripture reflection, and a brief introduction to Catholic Social Teaching.

Create community and observe Lent through a “virtual” retreat in everyday life. Daily Lenten reflections tweeted by the leader are the starting point for online sharing between pairs of young adults.

In this program young adults get together with a different person each week throughout Lent for fellowship and faith conversations. Leaders encourage young adults to connect or reconnect with members of their young adult ministry  in order to build their relationships as brothers and sisters in Christ.

This program empowers young adults to lead small faith-sharing communities with their peers. Throughout four weekly meetings and an opportunity for service, participants explore the Lenten theme of “desert” to reflect on their relationship with self, God, and others.

This one-day or weekend retreat will help young adults draw closer to God through scripture reflection and journaling. You will explore the Eucharist as it represents being taken, blessed, broken, and given to be bread for the world.

This six-session program uses story-telling, discernment, and small group faith sharing, to help young adults explore God’s call in their lives.
