Choices' spiritual ties to be probed
The experience of recognizing life choices and making decisions and the spiritual component in the process will be explored in workshops this month at the University Catholic Center, 1941 East-West Center Road.
The Rev. Randy Roche, former pastor of the campus center who is now with the Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, will lead the free workshops at 7:30 p.m. June 24 and July 3. At the first session, the Jesuit priest will lead discussion about discernment during prayer. The second will consider the process outside of prayer.
