Lenten Retreat for Adults: On the Road to Calvary
ChapelEssentially, Lent is an act of prayer. Spread out over 40 days, the church invites us to pray with Jesus onRead More
his journey to Calvary. Hopefully, our journey brings us closer to Christ and leaves us changed because of
the encounter.
We invite Loyola parents, alumni and friends to join us for our annual Lenten retreat as we enter into
this holy season. Each week we will reflect on the lives of different characters from the Passion story
through a series of meditations, prayers and contemplative practices. What do their actions tell us about
ourselves? What do these characters teach us about our own failings? What do they teach us about our
own moments of courage and grace? What can we learn of God’s mercy by walking the road to Calvary
with Christ this Lent?
Each session stands alone. Join us for one week, two weeks or all six weeks. Registration is not required. -
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
ChapelAll Ramblers are invited to share personal, prayerful time with God by participating in the ancient practice of Eucharistic Adoration. We will offer this opportunity every first Friday of the month during the school year, from 7:40 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The chapel will be reserved for exposition of the Eucharist and for anyone desiring silent prayer.
You can stop in the Chapel for as little or as much time as you like. All you need to bring is your desire to be with God. You can also bring a journal, book or other reflection materials if you wish. Other prayer resources will also be available for your use. For more information, please click here. -
