Heart on Fire

The Apostleship of Prayer presents Hearts on Fire: Living Faith in Daily Life with the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. This is a retreat coming to St. Louis for young adults, ages 18-39, who are looking for a day and a half of spiritual renewal and practical ways to connect faith and daily life.

The members of the Jesuit Mission Board are young Jesuit speakers who either attended or are currently attending Saint Louis University. They will be leading, preaching, and inspiring throughout the event.

The retreat is hosted by the Archdiocese of Saint Louis Office of Young Adult Ministry in the Cardinal Rigali Center from February 24th-25th, but spots are filling up fast! To register click here and for more information check out the website  here.

Cosmic Bowling Bash

Bowling is pretty fun by itself, but once you add in the “cosmic” factor? Woah, look out! You got yourself a party.

The ever-busy Billikens After Dark and the Department of Campus Recreation are hosting a night of Cosmic Bowling for SLU students on Saturday, January 21. If you’d like to partake in a night of bowling, dancing, pizza, and soda, grab a ticket at the front desk of the Simon Rec Center. Then meet in the main lobby of the Rec Center at 10:15 PM on Saturday. Buses will leave at 10:45 sharp for Brunswick Zone’s Lakeside Lanes. The event will last until 1:30 AM.

Bring $5 for transportation, shoe rental, 2 hours of bowling, pizza, and soda. Yes, only $5. There are only 200 tickets available, so make sure you grab one sooner rather than later. For more information, call 977-7174.
