Pause and Pray is a weekly, “retreat moment” for students to exhale, to reflect, and to be spiritually renewed through the academic year.
For questions or more information, please email cmretreats@becasinglesparatodos.com or contact Campus Minister for Retreats, Kelly Hughes
Students gather together on Monday evenings at 6:30 p.m. at Burns Library Lawn for a 45-minute reflection of music, journaling, prayer, and mindfulness. Each week, student facilitators introduce an Ignatian theme, and students share together in discussion and hospitality. Dinner to-go and materials are provided free of charge. Pre-registration is required each week. Gift yourself a retreat moment on a Monday night!
