Pray Hard. Play Hard.

This past Friday, the Newman Catholic Club attended the kick-off for the monthly Catholic Intercollegiate Adoration event. Our Fellowship Coordinator, Julie, recapitulates the wonderful evening.

Hey, Everybody!
What is CIA? It stands for Catholic Intercollegiate Adoration. Basically, the student ministries of the Archdiocese of Newark all come together once a month for a night of Mass, confession, and adoration. Yup, a triple threat of excellent prayer! Each month, one of the schools from the diocese will host this awesome gathering. Kean University was our gracious host on the 26th. We capped the night of with a huge game of "Prop" from the show Whose Line is it Anyway?. 

Pope Francis even made an appearance. #PopeSelfie

It feels good to see that, as a college student trying to live out my faith, I'm not alone. There was plenty of time to mingle with the students from around the diocese: Montclair, Stevens, RU-Newark, NJIT, and the hosts from Kean. I had a blast meeting other students who search  for more out of their college experience and choose to grow closer to God.
