Spirituality and Faith Formation

At Barry University, our interest extends beyond your academic and professional development; we are interested in you as a full person. This includes paying attention to your spiritual growth and the deepening of your relationship with God and neighbor. While firmly grounded in our Catholic tradition and Dominican heritage and expressive of our Mission and Core Commitments, we invite all members of the Barry Community into a closer relationship with God, self, neighbor and creation and to do so with openness to students, faculty and staff of all faith traditions. Whether you are Catholic or you belong to another faith tradition, the Campus Ministry staff can help you develop your spirituality and provide opportunities to celebrate your religious rituals and customs through our spirituality and faith formation programs, services and events.

Centering Prayer

Centering Prayer is an ancient prayer of inner silence in the presence of God. These sessions use the centering prayer methods of Fr. Thomas Keating and the training materials from the Contemplative Outreach. Each session consists of a portion of Fr. Keating's videos, a brief discussion and 30 minutes of centering prayer. This weekly gathering meets Wednesdays at 5:00 pm in Cor Jesu Chapel and all are welcome.

To participate in any of these activities, contact the Campus Ministry office and speak to Fr. Marcelo Solorzano, OP at msolorzano@mail.barry.edu or Anthony Bonta at abonta@mail.barry.edu  or 305-899-3653.
