Christian Life Communities (CLC)

By joining a CLC, you will meet each week with a group of 5-8 students for prayer, spirituality, and reflection.  Students can remain with the same CLC, with the same people for all their college years.  CLC groups also participate in community service projects together. CLCs are open to people of all faith traditons.  For more information, contact Bill Kriege at 816-501-4855.

UNITY-Putting the “Unity” back into Community!


Unity is a gay-straight alliance that meets weekly for prayer, support and service! Persons of all faith traditions, sexual orientations, and stages of their journey to find their spiritual and sexual identity are invited to join Unity’s confidential weekly meetings. Unity seeks to help its members on an inward journey in which they discover themselves as God’s beloved and on an outward journey in which they grow to become women and men for others in the Jesuit tradition. For more information, contact Bill Kriege at 816-501-4855.

Pasta and Prayer

While school is in session, we gather every Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. at the Campus Ministry Center (5134 Forest). We begin with a half-hour of prayer and then share a meal together. The prayer takes various forms: Mass, guided meditation,
Taize, shared reflections, Stations of the Cross, even a reflection on pumpkin-carving!
After prayer, we then enjoy one another’s company around the dinner table.
We hope you are able to join in, if not every week at least when your schedule allows! Even those with night classes at 5:30 or 6 p.m. on Tuesdays are able to attend for both the prayer and the pasta. Contact Cindy Schmersal at (816) 501-4303 for more information.

Spiritual Direction

The Campus Ministry staff is available to students, staff, and faculty who want to discuss, on a regular or occasional basis, issues relating to their faith journeys in a safe, open, and confidential manner. For more information, contact Campus Ministry at 816-501-4063.

 

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola

The inspiration and source of "all things Jesuit," the Spiritual Exercises is a process of prayer and discernment designed to "lead a person to true spiritual freedom so that any choice or decision is made according to an ordered set of values rather than according to any disordered desire." Throughout the school year, participants meet regularly with a director at a time convenient to their individual schedules. For more information, contact the Director of Jesuit Mission and Values, at 816-501-4594.
