Prayer Vigil

2020 Election Prayer Vigil

Now more than ever, our campus and our country need to come together and walk side by side with one another. As Jesus said in this week's Gospel: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Join us this Monday evening to pray for our nation on the eve of the election. 

If you can't make it to the prayer vigil (or even if you can!) use these resources for prayer before and during the election:

The Word!

the word

The Counseling Center for Wellness in partnership with Campus Ministry invite you to join "The Word," a group that provides a safe space for NU students who are spiritual and want to gain a deeper connection with their spiritual life while connecting with others.

The group will include a focus on music while diving into the Word to learn how both can connect to our everyday life and spiritual walk. This a place where your voice is heard and respected. This is a place for students to connect, receive support and encouragement towards developing their purpose.

And the winner is: St. Anthony of Padua!
