SAINT JOHN’S UNIVERSITY

Fellowship in Prayer gave a Sacred Journey grant in 2025 to Saint John’s University supporting a pilot initiative to connect student groups and other parts of the campus with the university’s Benedictine monastic community. Intended outcomes are to learn and practice the liturgy of the hours, cultivate stillness, interior silence, a sense of communal prayer, contemplative awareness of God, other, and self, as well as a generative connection between prayer and action in the world.
