Chaplain's Chatter: Thoughts, Reflections and Musings from the Catholic Chaplain
Greetings Everyone,
At the end of Mass this past Sunday, Fr. Bob invited each of us to "discover the person deep inside you this Advent." Advent offers us the opportunity to journey inward, to discover more fully the person God created us to discover. It is a time to listen to the voice of God that speaks to us deep within our hearts. We journey inward so we can live outward lives of genuineness, freedom and lasting joy.
As we head into the busyness and stress of finals week, I pray the hope of Advent will give you assurance, comfort and direction.
Advent Peace,
~ Jamie

Clairvaux Service Retreat
You are invited to spend your spring break with fellow Naz students along with children and families who have been affected by homelessness. We will take the week to work with Deep Roots and the people they serve as we learn more about poverty and homelessness and the ways in which we can make a true difference. If you are looking for an opportunity to serve and to explore the intersection of spirituality and social justice, then we hope you will consider joining us in March!
"Deep Roots works with children and their families, who are disconnected through homelessness or other similar marginalization: connecting hearts. Our program will challenge children to envision a brighter future, to sustain healthy relationships and to navigate a course towards personal and social responsibility through better life experiences, with mentors, providing healthy life-models for all future relationships."
Contact Nadia Mullin at nmullin7@naz.edu for more information.
Applications are available from Nadia or Ruth on the 1st floor of GAC.
