Spirituality
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.
Renewal
Renewal is a Praise and Worship service held each Wednesday night at 10:00. Renewal offers a place for students to come restore their spirits through intimate worship
of God within a nourishing community of faith. Renewal is student- led and has a contemporary, welcoming feel. Through various modes of worship- including prayer, praise, messages, service and social activities—it is a place where all can reach the loving heart of God. Contact Maureen Henderson at (816) 501-4869 for more information.
Refresh
Refresh is a Bible study group that meets each Thursday night at 10:00. Students of all faith traditions can come to discover the hidden treasures, wisdom, power, and beauty of God’s Word and to discover how they apply to everyday life. Questions and varying viewpoints are not stifled, but rather encouraged; it is through seeking and an inquisitive spirit that we truly find that for which we deeply long. Contact Maureen Henderson at (816) 501-4869 for more information.

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.
