This is a great way to meet other people! These groups meet all over campus--probably even in your dorm or apartment building! Groups focus on scriptrue and applying it to college life. Sign up now or contact Marie (mavolcko@iastate.edu) or Seamus (jamesp@iastate.edu).
Retreats
Multiple retreats coming up. Community building retreats like Antioch and silent retreats like Magis Retreat. Find more information here!
Look forward to these events in Spring 2021!
Come Awake: Tuesday, February 9, 7pm, St. Thomas Aquinas Church
