Lenten Opportunities for Adults
Prayer and reflection are ways we can deepen our relationship with God and with others, especially during Lent. Prayer and reflection lead us toward greater union with God and greater solidarity with our neighbor. Throughout this year, we have focused on creating a culture of active discipleship among our Bellarmine community. The season of Lent provides us with a focused opportunity to take a next step in going deeper into prayer, which will take us deeper into acts of love and justice.
The opportunities we have prepared offer experiences in groups focused on how our faith moves us into social mission as well as groups focused on deepening our prayer so that we are open to the mission God will call us into. You will see that as a parish grounded in Ignatian Spirituality, we offer several options in these ways of praying.
Many of the choices below are intended for small groups using Zoom. During these months of prolonged distance, please consider being in one of these groups during Lent so you can enjoy weekly contact and engagement with others in our Bellarmine family. If you are in a Small Faith Community, your group could sign up for an option together.
We invite you to review the event descriptions below and sign up for as many as you'd like!
