"The Circle, Squared" Student Retreat

Get oriented and centered for finals. Catholic retreat focuses on four points on the spiritual compass: listening, letting go, holding on, and companioning. Join us!

Join other students on the journey in this lovely restful exploration of four points on the spiritual compass: listening (let's calm down and open up) letting go (stories of courage and simplicity) holding on (what's good; how do we know?) and companioning (upbeat, practical tips).

Pray, reflect, and share as you like.

Newman pastoral team members, including our own Mark Callahan, have been invited to bring their gifts to this spiritual feast. Fr. Doug McGonagle and Campus Minister Ms. Chris Clark will facilitate. Fellowship of Catholic University Students Nick Blaha, Melanie Fedoryka, Drew Snyder, MarySusan Schwarz will offer testimonies and tips.

After the 5:15 Mass we'll enjoy a light supper and move into "The Circle, Squared." All five college students welcome. (Yes, of course non-Catholic students are welcome - including attendance at Mass.)

To register email chrisclark@external.umass.edu by 12/14.
