Join us every second Saturday of the month at UW Newman for a beautiful evening of worship and fellowship! The night features:

✨ Eucharistic Adoration
✨ Praise and Worship Music
✨ Moments of Silence for Personal Prayer
✨ Confession
✨ Prayer Teams

Afterward, stick around for a social gathering with food and drinks —a great chance to connect with other young adults from the undergraduate and Frassati communities! Adoration begins at 7PM and ends at 8:30PM, followed by the social. If you want to go to the prayer team, be sure to arrive early, or else you might miss your chance.

If you wish to leave before 10pm, consider parking at the back end of N5 (LINK) and taking the walking trail, a mere 4 min walk to Newman. It is free from noon onwards on Saturdays (and all day Sunday) and would really help our parking situation.

What are Prayer Teams?
During the evening, you’ll have the option to meet with a prayer team—two or three people you can meet in a private space—if you’d like prayer for any specific intention. Whether you’re seeking encouragement, healing (physical or spiritual), a word from God, or a fresh renewal of the Holy Spirit, the team is there to support you in prayer. These short 10-minute sessions have been a powerful experience for many!

We look forward to seeing you there! 🙏

Chrysostom will celebrate Mass at the falls and we will eat lunch before heading back to the cars. It is known to be muddy so be ready with rain gear and good hiking shoes! This hike is nestled in the cute historic town of Eatonville, located in the foothills of Mt. Rainier. There will be a little excursion to the town for a meal before heading home!

This week we will hear from the Executive Director of Next Step: The Sacredness of Human Life: Next Step Pregnancy Services Forging Better Outcomes of Those We Serve.

“Since the first century the church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and is not changeable. (CC 2271) - The distraction lies in the idea that it is not the start of life that renders it sacred but that its being life itself does that. Please join us for a presentation on how organizations like Next Step stand in the gap between what is certain and what is mercurial in today's society.”

Join us for Young Adult Adoration—a space to bring your week’s burdens before the Lord and find rejuvenation and healing. Held every second Saturday of the month at UW Newman, the evening includes Adoration, praise and worship with periods of silence, confessions, and prayer teams, followed by a social gathering. This year, we’re excited to introduce Inner Healing and Freedom sessions as well.

If you’re unfamiliar with prayer teams or the inner healing ministry, here’s a brief overview:

Prayer Teams: During the event, you have the option to visit a prayer team—two or three people in a side room—if you’d like prayer for a specific intention. Whether you’re seeking encouragement, healing (including physical), a word from God, renewal of the Holy Spirit, or anything else on your heart, the team will be there to pray with you. Sessions usually last about 10 minutes. Many have found this ministry to be deeply impactful.

Inner Healing & Freedom Ministry: This ministry focuses on inner healing from the wounds and trauma we’ve experienced in our life, and freedom from any evil influences or strongholds. It involves a one-hour session with two trained ministers who guide you in a conversation with Jesus, allowing Him to heal the wounds of your life and dispel lies you may have come to believe. While we’re not taking bookings just yet (which will be required for this ministry), we’ll have more information available in the coming weeks.
