This event is held in the Grad Commons (SLP 401) a few times during the semester, each Theology on Tap features a special guest speaker who shares on a different topic related to faith, spirituality and finding meaning.
Spirituality
University Ministry's various retreats for graduate students that are a great experience whether you want to reinvigorate your faith, discover a new community, or just have some quiet time to think.
University Ministry offers the opportunity for graduate and law students to seek spiritual guidance and/or spend time reflecting with a companion on where God is moving in their lives. Feeling anxiety about life direction, experiencing a particular loss or wanting to find more balance are just some of the many different times that a student might meet with a University Minister.
Feel free to stop by the Graduate and Law Student Commons (SLP 401) or University Ministry Offices (FH 20) to meet with Fr. Greg McGrivern, pmcgivern@sandiego.edu
Immersion Programs
Come serve with us as we help with a physical work project and interact with our partner community of La Morita. In the afternoon we build relationships through home visits and visiting at Casa Memorias- an HIV/AIDS hospice facility. We complete our day by traveling to the border fence and engaging in conversation and reflection regarding border issues and human dignity. Passport required.
