Marquette Contemplative Community

Welcome to the Web home of the Marquette Contemplative Community. We are here to support the contemplative interests of the university community.

There is growing interest in contemplative practice and study at Marquette, and the Milwaukee Contemplative Community has organized to make opportunities more available to faculty, students, administrators and staff.

The MCC was awarded the 2011–12 Edward D. Simmons Religious Committment Grant to further these interests. With this support, we are initiating weekly contemplative sessions for the Marquette community and are planning a speaker series to support the practice.

Mission Statement
The Marquette Contemplative Community [MCC] was established to support interest in contemplative practices at Marquette University. The mission of the Marquette Contemplative Community is to offer educational programming and contemplative practice as a community of people who value the possibilities contemplation holds for meaningful life and service, both at Marquette and in our wider society. Our vision is nonsectarian, and has emphasis on mindfulness meditation, lovingkindness and compassion meditation, and Christian contemplative prayer.
