St. Mary’s Food Bank, Seattle Are you looking for a way to get involved in community service? If so, then join Magis for a new opportunity starting this October! As part of our partnership with the Seattle University Youth Initiative, Magis invites you to participate as an Alumni Volunteer. Come together with other Jesuit-educated alumni to serve at St. Mary’s Food Bank in Seattle’s Central District. The St. Mary’s Food Bank provides families and individuals who are struggling with hunger with nutritious food through a variety of services, including the Walk-in Program, where over 6,700 people receive groceries each month. Alumni Volunteers commit to assisting with distributing food, checking-in clients, and sorting food items for distribution, and participating in a short reflection following service. If you are interested in serving, email Magis today! We are taking sign-ups for each month October 2011-June 2012. Alumni family and children welcome, however volunteers must be 16 years of age or older, or accompanied by an adult.
Additionally, Magis is looking for two Service Saturday Alumni Leaders to help our staff with leading the monthly service opportunity through the 2011-2012! This leadership opportunity includes: committing to one year of leadership (Oct. 2011-June 2012); helping to recruit ten Jesuit-educated alumni each month; rotating on-site leadership with one other Alumni Leader every other month; facilitating a brief reflection process following service; and assisting in the creation of a strong alumni volunteer experience and community. Alumni Leaders with strong communication, organizational, and team building skills desired. If you are interested in serving as a Service Saturday Alumni Leader, please email Magis Director Brooke Rufo Hill.
SEEL Retreat – Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life
This may sound outrageous, and well it should. Would you consider spending the next nine months falling in love with God? The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life is a nine month retreat format of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, with retreat communities meeting in Seattle and Tacoma, beginning in September and running through May. It is a powerful, life-changing program of prayer and reflection that can be done by busy people of varied backgrounds and Christian traditions in the midst of their daily lives. Retreatants commit themselves to praying one hour a day, meeting twice monthly with a Spiritual Director, and to attending monthly Saturday retreat days. To learn more, visit SEEL online.
