Jesuit Connection

 

 
Jesuit Connection at Jesuit GALA 2008The Jesuit Connection is an organized group of young adults who have either graduated from Jesuit institutions or have had other experiences with Jesuit teachings and values.  The group plans for liturgy, service and networking programs or events for all those interested.  Newcomers are always welcome!

Crista and Michael Mahoney, Kelly O’Neil, John Mulcahy, Jim Scholl, Susan Lysaght, Abe Grindle, Monica Parchesky and Pat Hurley all stepped forward to assist and address the growing interest in the Jesuit Connection. Meet the Jesuit Connection Leadership Council and read their answers to the question: "Why do you want to be Connected?"  You can also connect to the Jesuit Connection group on Facebook.

 

Upcoming Events

 

FALL 

Walking through Advent:
Faith sharing and reflection during the Advent season
Dates: Four - one hour sessions beginning week of November 23
Location: Mutually convenient venue TBD
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119).  Advent is the season of preparation for the arrival of Christ in our lives at Christmas.  Using Ignatian prayer and reflection, Jesuit Connection will be offering a “walking retreat” during the four weeks of Advent.  Starting the week of November 23th, we will meet one evening a week for reflection based upon the Sunday Advent readings, and faith sharing about the experience of preparing for Christ in our own lives.  The groups will be small (numbers depend only upon interest!) and we encourage those who are interested to make a commitment to come all four weeks to experience the fullest sense of community within each group.  Join us as we take just an hour a week to reflect during the four weeks of Advent and prepare for the light of Christmas!
