Christian Life Communities (CLCs) are small faith communities grounded in spirituality, community, and service. Groups of 6-10 members gather weekly for prayer, reflection, and conversation as we seek to integrate our faith with the realities of everyday life.

If you would like to lead a CLC for the 2008-2009 year, please complete the application (click here for an application)  and return to Carrie Pollick in Campus Ministry by Friday, April 25th, 2008. Please sign up for a ½ hour interview at this time or email your application to cpollick@jcu.edu and include your availability to interview in the email.

Please remember to return your rice bowls to St. Francis Chapel or to the Campus Ministry main office sometime this week.  All proceeds go to Catholic Relief Services. Seventy-five percent of Rice Bowl proceeds come to Catholic Relief Services and help fund development projects designed to increase food security in communities in over 40 countries around the world.  25% of the money collected stays in our Diocese.  To learn more about Operation Rice Bowl and Catholic Relief services click here.
