Help tidy up and beautify our beloved Newman Center! This one day of service saves Newman the tremendous cost of hiring a landscaping contractor and is like giving the center a $15-20,000 donation! To get everything done, we would need about 20 people, so ask your friends! 

Let us know you’re coming, by rsvp-ing HERE

Similar to Theology on Tap, a Lumen event is when we host a young adult or outside speaker, but then chant night prayer together (called “Compline”) with the Dominican Friars. This is followed by our social, when we share a refreshing pint of beer or non-alcoholic drink.

This week’s Lumen is entitled “The Eucharist is not a Horcrux … or is it?” Have you ever wondered how the Eucharist could be Jesus, but also still look and taste like bread? This Lumen, Fr. Chrysostom will speak about the Eucharist, its biblical and theological groundings, but also how we can understand what it is from a philosophical standpoint.  

The speaker begins at 7pm sharp (plan to arrive a bit early) and the pub social ends at 10pm.

*** If you plan to leave before 10PM, you MUST park at UW parking lot N5 (5 min walk away), or else your car will be double parked in.

The evening will commence with Brother Paschal's enlightening talk, followed by a compline prayer at the Newman Chapel, and concluding with a joyful celebration in St. Dominic’s Hall.

“Br. Paschal will present and discuss two arguments for the existence of God.  One is a modern one based on the recent observation that if the laws of physics were slightly different from what they are, life could not exist anywhere in the universe.  The second is much older but starts with the question, why do things follow laws of physics at all?”

“Come hear a short presentation on the life and importance of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha: North America’s first canonized Native American saint. Though she is already a lesser-recognized saint, what even fewer people know is that the second miracle needed for her canonization took place in our Seattle diocese only 18 years ago. Born in 1656 in Upstate New York, Saint Kateri lived a brief life of intense devotion to Jesus Christ. She owed her faith in large part to the missionary work of the French Jesuits who sailed to the New World, and whose sainthood we recognize under the collective title of the “North "American Martyrs.” Come learn about this amazing saint!Presentation by Anne-Sophie Eizayaga.”

Remember to reimburse your driver for gas: about $5-10. 

New skiers, and group safety. The trail is very safe and for all skill levels. It's an in-and-out trail. People will naturally group with those of their "like speed".
