News & Events
Evening Prayer: Ascending Perspectives of the Laity (APL) Liturgy
In response to many parishioners’ desire for more laity-led opportunities in the area of worship, Bellarmine Chapel is offering the first of a series of Evening Prayer services uniquely designed to empower and lift up the theological and liturgical perspectives of the non-ordained. Our first offering will be Thursday evening, September 17, 2020 at 7 PM - celebrating the combined Feasts of St. Robert Bellarmine and St. Hildegard von Bingen. The prayer will be livestreamed from the main chapel, and will include Sr. Donna Steffen, S.C. as presider and Kathy Stockman as the evening’s homilist. Evening Prayer (Vespers) is part of the Church’s official liturgical tradition, with hymns, psalmody, and scripture readings creating an uplifting prayer experience to which all are welcome! The link for the livestream can be found on the parish website livestream section and is available here on YouTube. Ever Ancient, Ever New: Exploring the Female Diaconate
Registration Form - Please Complete! Monday, September 14, 7:00-8:30 p.m. EDT Dr. Anna Miller, Casey Stanton and Luke Hansen, S.J. Moderated by Allison Borden and co-sponsored by Bellarmine Chapel, the Institute for Spirituality and Social Justice, and the Center for Faith and Justice at Xavier University The topic of the ordination of women as permanent deacons has emerged at three consecutive global synods in Rome, most notably the recent Synod of Bishops on the Pan-Amazonian Region (October 2019), which formally requested that Pope Francis reestablish a papal commission to study the topic. Now that commission has been formed, which continues the dialogue and discernment in the church. Join this evening of dialogue about the ministry and leadership of women in the Catholic Church, specifically the history of women deacons and the contemporary practice and theology of the permanent diaconate. Visit here for more information and the live link. Active Discipleship Page Available Now - Join Us!

Bellarmine Creative Arts Anthology: One Good Word (Quarantine Edition) Once again, Bellarmine has shown imagination and openness to, as our Mission Statement says, “the new and creative ways of the Holy Spirit.” More than 30 people answered the call for written and visual art, much of it created as the pandemic has kept us home. A committee including graphic artist Doug Klocke has organized the material, and now we proudly present, One Good Word (Quarantine Edition). To take a look at it, click here. Let yourself be drawn into the mystery of prayers, art, poems, and photos. Enjoy a laugh from a limerick or personal story. We hope this anthology offers something for everyone—hope, beauty, a call to action. Whatever you most need now. As English poet David Whyte says in “Loaves and Fishes”: “People are hungry,/ and one good word is bread/ for a thousand.” Public Mass Reservation Links
