Not by Bread Alone: An Interfaith Conversation on Fasting
Join us for a dialogue on the spiritual practice of fasting in the Christian, Hebrew, and Muslim faiths.
The Wednesday events will take place at 7:00 p.m. in Ignatius Chapel, Bobet Hall.
“Experiencing the Eucharistic celebration in the Latin rite, which may not be as familiar to most, is a way to further enrich our Lenten observation. This Eucharistic celebration with Gregorian Chant also allows the community to experience a spirituality that has been a part of the tradition of our faith over the centuries,” said the Rev. Ted Dziak, S.J., director of the Jesuit Center.
The Lenten Series is co-sponsored by the Loyola University New Orleans Jesuit Center and the Alumni Association.
