God is love; and all who dwell in love dwell in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16
God is much more than a guest we invite into our lives on Sunday. Guiding students who seek a deepened, loving relationship with our Creator is a primary objective of the Manresa Project.
Think about what you talk about with your best friends: what you want to do with your life, your relationships, making a difference, your fears about world issues, finding yourself, your faith in a complex world...Then ask yourself these questions: Where is our society right now? What is our world facing? Are there needs that I can fufill? Does someone need something my talents and interests can provide? How can I serve others?
The Manresa project invites students to look at these questions and a score of others, especially through reading and conversation, as well as presentations by alumni and community leaders who have engaged in exploring these questions through their own lives and decisions.
