If you think eucharistic adoration and rap or hard rock can’t mix, think again. Catholic Underground has come to Chicago.
Originally founded by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal as a cultural apostolate, Catholic Underground — an evening of eucharistic adoration, music and fellowship for college students — is a direct response to a call begun by Pope John Paul II and continued by Pope Benedict XVI — that the Gospel must be in conversation with culture. How can we best accomplish this goal? By integrating Gospel values into music, art and culture while maintaining the integrity of the mysteries of faith.
Here in Chi-Town, Catholic Underground is happening at the John Paul II Newman Center at the University of Illinois-Chicago. With so many things competing for students’ time and attention,
The evening begins with worshiping Jesus in eucharistic adoration. On Oct. 2, the candle-lit Newman Center Chapel welcomed students to adoration. Worship was guided by popular praise hymns, interspersed with Scripture passages attesting to the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and times of quiet music for personal prayer and reflection. Benediction marked the transition from prayer to the celebration of gifts and talents.
The second part of the evening presents music and art that celebrates life while integrating Catholic values. |
