Transportation will be provided from Hyde Park. Open to current university students and faculty.
Join us for an evening of prayer and conversation with Benedictine monks at the Monastery of the Holy Cross on the south side of Chicago. Attendees will participate in prayer of the Divine Office (vespers and compline), and have dinner and discussion with Prior Peter Funk on Benedict XVI’s encyclical on the theological virtue of hope, Spe Salvi. Fr. Peter will emphasize the need for hope in the life of the Church today.
