Welcome to CLC

What is CLC?

CLCs are weekly small groups of students that commit to growing in faith together. Groups meet to have intentional conversations, explore tools of faith exploration, and leave with friendships that span from what you had for dinner to your image of God. Because CLCs meet consistently, this sacred space provides students with a home on campus to help them through the highs and lows of college life 

What is an Affinity CLC?

Affinity CLCs live at the intersection of faith/spirituality and specific identities. Rooted in Ignatian Spirituality, groups meet weekly for conversation, reflection and prayer, taking pause together in sacred space. Please note, not every session is specifically about those intersections, but it provides space for like minded and hearted people to gather at important intersections of identity
