Christian Life Community (CLC) Faith Sharing Group
Desiring to live out your Catholic faith more intentionally? Join CLC.
Christian Life Community (CLC) is a network of faith-sharing groups rooted in Ignatian spirituality. Groups are typically made up of 6-12 people led by a student group facilitator or a Newman Center staff member. Groups meet weekly to grow in faith, friendship, and service.
Spend a few minutes each day during Lent to pray for an intention. Take time to understand the root causes of what you are praying for. Learn about Catholic teaching on the topic and read about how it affects people in our world today. Ask God to help you to love in radical ways.
Here are some suggested prayer intentions.
