Sept 10: Where Spirituality Meets Social Justice

Loyola Student Ministry Programs are here to help you find what centers you, feeds your soul, and fuels your passion. Spirituality can come to us in many different forms—from a reflective moment in nature to weekly worship services. Here are some ways to deepen your spirituality at Loyola: 

  • Our Interfaith Ministries support students of diverse faith backgrounds, and our Interfaith Prayer Room located in the lower level of the Danna Student Center provides a meditative place to pray throughout the day. 
  • Catholic Masses and other devotions are celebrated weekly and streamed live on YouTube. Visit our website to also learn more about involvement opportunities with Mass. 
  • Sacramental Preparation enables the Loyola community to prepare for or receive the Sacraments of the Church and for all to enrich their individual faith lives, incorporating our Jesuit values and Ignatian Spirituality. 
  • Visit our This Week in Ministry page for a full listing of the current events and programs available each week!

Talk with a Resident Minister

Resident Ministers and Jesuits-in-Residence are available for spiritual conversation and pastoral counseling by appointment. You can also meet and chat with them at their weekly "Sweet-n-Greets" in Biever, Buddig, Francis Family, Cabra and Uptown Halls. Learn more about spiritual companioning and counseling available to all students at Loyola.

At Loyola, we welcome students from all faith backgrounds! If you would like to connect with a community of students who share your faith, please fill out this form. You will be contacted by the leader of the faith community of your choosing (choose however many communities you want).

Find Your Spiritual Center 

Looking to find friends and community, grow in your spirituality, or learn how to make decisions and choices? Consider joining an Ignatian Life Community to support you and come to one of the great off-campus retreats. Contact Associate Director of Ministry Ken Weber at kweber@loyno.edu if you have any questions or fill out this interest form. 

Make a Difference

There are many ways to make a difference, both within and outside the Loyola community. One way to do so is by joining the Loyola University Community Action Program (LUCAP), which is a social justice and service-oriented organization that is completely led by students. LUCAP students get involved through service projects in areas such as rebuilding, hunger and homelessness, tutoring and mentoring, and environmentalism. Along with service, students also learn about social justice issues and advocate as a community. Explore LUCAP on HowlConnect to see current projects and email lucap@loyno.edu to get involved.

Stay Nourished

Iggy's Cupboard provides perishable and non-perishable food items and other essentials to any member of Loyola's community that may need a little extra help. Located in the Lower Level of the Danna Student Center, the cupboard is open from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. during the week and 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on the weekends during the school year. No need to make an appointment—just stop by!
