Are you looking to

  • find regular moments of pause during this time of pandemic?

  • personalize the Ignatian Awareness Examen in your current rhythm of life?

  • cultivate the habits of remembering, receiving, and responding out of gratitude?

Join other young adults (18+) and those young at heart (parents welcome) for this four-week prayer series to experience the 500-year-old Ignatian Awareness Examen in fresh ways. This prayer journey involves praying on your own as well as weekly spiritual conversations with the same four companions. Saying “yes” to this prayer series means you are able to attend all four sessions and devote 15-20 minutes (3 times a week) to practice remembering, receiving, and responding. Let God draw you into deeper friendship and peace during this time of uncertainty and opportunity.
