Feast & FAith
*Program CURRENTLY PAUSED*
FEAST & FAITH will RESUME IN THE FALL OF 2023!
Pull Up A seat
On Tuesday evenings we host a FREE home cooked meal and discussion gathering called “Feast and Faith.”
The Lounge in the St. Joseph’s Church (beside uOttawa campus) is like our living room. It is where we gather, eat, and enjoy a time and space that feels like ‘home.’
If you want to stay after dinner, we regularly invite professors and professionals to come in, join us for supper and share their stories. Guest speakers help us consider ways in which faith impacts what they do and how they do it. As well, we explore various topics within Christianity. Some nights are more focused on peer-to-peer small group discussions. As citizens in God’s world, we want to ponder how following Jesus integrates with all areas our lives. These times of exploration are open to anyone from any religious background – there’s something we’ll all takeaway!
When: Tuesdays Evenings, Doors 5:00pm, Supper 5:30pm, Speaker 6:00pm
Where: St. Joseph Church – Oblate Lounge, corner of Laurier & Cumberland. Use the Cumberland St entrance and ring the doorbell!
Who: Any student from any background is welcome.
