Support the SLU Prison Program

Here’s something you might not have known about Saint Louis University. Our college-in-prison program has been nominated for Monsanto’s “Grow St. Louis” contest. This could mean that our program could win an award of up to $15,000!

This money would go towards buying books for students, compensating faculty, bring in speakers to the faculty, and support other administrative aspects of the program.

It’s  up to you to make it happen: vote here before Sunday, Jan. 29th!

Observe Black History Month and explore our rich, African-American heritage. View the spiritual, political, and emotional journey through the brush strokes and distinctive, yet harmonious perspectives of two noted painters: Father James Hasse, S.J. and Judge Nathan B. Young.

Spirit and History: Paintings by Father James Hasse and Judge Nathan B. Young will open with a 6 p.m. reception on Friday, January 27.

Father James Hasse spent over 40 years of his ministry in African-American parishes throughout the Midwest. He was deeply influenced by the community he served, and his work reflects Biblical themes, as related to the strife of the African-American woman.

Judge Nathan B. Young practiced law for nearly 40 years in St. Louis, co-founded the St. Louis American newspaper; and became the first African-American municipal judge in the city.  Young created paintings that chronicled the changes and development of the American experience for for change and development.

Praying with Scripture, or Lectio Divina (sacred reading), is an ancient approach to reading the Bible that invites us to meditate upon a selected passage and pay attention to the personal way that God speaks to each of us.

Campus Ministry will be hosting Lectio Divina bible studies every Wednesday in the Fusz Hall Campus Ministry Office, starting tomorrow, January 25th. The studies go from 8:30PM to 9:15PM. For more information, contact Rachel Kondro, Fusz Hall Campus Minister, at rkondro@slu.edu or  977-1533.
