Groups and Programs

Graduate and Adult Student Christian Group

The inter-denominational group meets monthly at the Water Tower Campus for fellowship and prayer and also joins at other times for special events.  Contact Michael Maher at (312)915-7727 mmaher@luc.edu for more information. 

 Staying Best Friends

Staying Best Friends is for students in Loyola University’s School of Law and their spouses and partners.  Usually two sessions in the fall semester and one in the spring are offered.  At least two sessions involve second and third year Law students or recent alums who share reflections upon their experience.  Guest couples to speak about what pressure-points they imagined Law School would cause and the actual realities.  They will offer strategies they have tried to alleviate stresses—those that have proved successful and those that have not.  Following the reflections of the three couples, we will enjoy some food and drink.  The School covers the cost of this program.  Meetings for 2008-2009 will be Fridays 8/22/08, 10/17/08 and 2/13/09 in the 13th floor Faculty Law Library.  For more information, contact Fr. Jerry Overbeck, SJ at (312)915-7186 joverb2@luc.edu.

Prayer Luncheons

Prayer luncheons are a time for the Water Tower community to gather, to share a meal and to reflect on the role of faith in day-to-day life.  They are open to people of all faiths.  Faculty, staff, and students are all invited.  Consult the calendar on this page for more information.
