April is sexual assault awareness month in the State of Wisconsin. Members of the Marquette community are invited to join in discussing the issue of clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church today. During this two-hour gathering, we will review the newly released DVD, The Healing Circle, a moving film documentary in which victims of clergy abuse share and dialogue with members of the community and clergy members of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee as a means of healing past and present wounds, based on the model of restorative justice. Distinguished Professor of Law at Marquette University and Director of the Restorative Justice Initiative, Janine Geske, is the film's host and facilitator. Dr. Kathleen Coffey-Guenther, Associate Director at the Faber Center for Ignatian Spirituality and Professor Geske will co-facilitate time for discussion and sharing following the film.
Lunch will be provided. Please register by April 16 at FaberCenter@marquette.edu. or call 288-4545 for additional information.

Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius
The exercises are a pathway to recognizing God's activity in our deepest desires and growing in unity with God. Emerging from the experience of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, the Exercises provide a structured opportunity to mature in spiritual freedom and make choices that are responsive to God's call in one's life.
