Ignatian Workshops, Prayer Services, & Celebrations

Rooted in the Ignatian tradition of reflection, community, and action, these events invite you to pause, connect, and engage with the world around you. Throughout the year, you’ll find hands-on workshops — like art and social change, and advocacy skills — alongside moments of reflection, such as sunrise gatherings, peace prayers, or walks for the Earth. We’ll also celebrate women and cultural traditions, like Our Lady of Guadalupe, through music, food, and community.

If you're ready to learn, reflect, and take action, these gatherings are for you!

Monthly Sunrise Intention Setting: Start your month with reflection, intention, prayer, and a cup of coffee. “My strength returns to me with my cup of coffee and the reading of the psalms.” - Dorothy Day 7:15 - 7:45 in Wolfington Hall on the first Monday of the Month - 3/9, 4/13, 5/4

Monthly Prayers for Peace: Come together after the 7 p.m. mass to pray for peace and strength for those violently pushed to the margins. Pray and get resources to take action. First Sunday of the month - 3/8, 4/5, 5/3
