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! 🙏

Similar to Theology on Tap, a Lumen event is when we host a young adult or outside speaker, but also 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, the Dominican Prior, Fr. Augustine, will speak on what authority the Church has: "What does authority mean? Does the Church have authority? What does this mean? How does it affect your life?"

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.

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.
