JARS East Hosting Lenten Reflection Series
The Jesuit Antiracism Sodality (JARS) East is a space for those who have a passion for racial justice in the USA East Province of the Jesuits to come together to pray, reflect and act. JARS is open to all connected to the Province in any way: Jesuits, colleagues, and friends. During this Lent, JARS is organizing a prayer and reflection series based on The Spiritual Work of Racial Justice by Patrick Saint-Jean. Participants will gather online for small group spiritual conversation and share experiences of prayer over the course of Lent. Find more information and register for the series here.
Laudato Si’ Lent with ISN
During each week of Lent, members of the Ignatian Solidarity Network family will deepen their understanding of the Laudato Si’ Action Platform (LSAP) and consider how individuals and institutions can make commitments to more fully live out the call of Laudato Si’. Each week will focus on one of the LSAP goals, with a video, prayer resources and suggestions for concrete action. Learn more at Laudato Si’ Lent 2022.
