Bring your lunch, drop-in, see who’s around, and catch-up.
Needed so clearly in our world, this group will focus on exploring racial inequalities, examining the intersection of racism and other topics: housing inequality, medical research, and the criminal justice system. The books will guide our conversation, with openness to sharing other relevant resources and conversation on film, podcasts, and the like with one another. If you commit to the whole series, Ministry will supply the books for you. Book line-up includes:
- “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City” by Matthew Desmond
- “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot
- “Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption” by Bryan Stevenson

Knit, puzzle, color, crochet, stitch, or sketch with others – sharing in conversation and sharing creations. B.Y.O. Project and enjoy intentional time to be creative in community. Come every week, or whenever you can. Bring any project ideas and we can discuss teaching one another a skill or craft.
Explore your identity, gifts, and purpose using tools useful for growing in self-awareness. Tools utilized will include the Enneagram, StrengthsFinder, Emotional Intelligence (EI), and Project Implicit. Our hope for participants is that they finish the six weeks more centered, empowered, filled with self-love, and with a greater understanding of one's unique contribution to make in the world. A 6-week commitment is requested in order to build intentional community and provide you with access to the tools. Email Ann Hillman at ahillman@luc.edu if interested.
This group will read a weekly Christian scripture using the practice of Lectio Divina ("divine reading"...a reflective, intentional way to listen to God's Word at work in the events of our lives), do some sharing, and have a time of reflection using a prayer technique or source from Ignatian Spirituality that is easily integrated into daily life. Come every week, or whenever you can.
Get creative in the kitchen. Share recipes and try new things together. Recipes will be circulated one week before and on Monday the "week-of" as a reminder so you can gather supplies. Come every week or whenever you can.
A quiet place where you can share your favorite poems with others or share poems you have written, poems of nature, poems of insight, poems of protest, poems in Spanish or other languages with translations. Often we find poems that speak to us deeply, but have few or no one to share them with. This is the place to do exactly that. Please join us! Led by Fr. Mark Henninger, S.J.
