The Next Chapter program is a six-month guided journey designed to help people discern who God is calling them to be and what God is calling them to do in their next chapter of life.
The University of St. Thomas is offering a program open to those already retired or thinking about retiring soon. “The Next Chapter” program will be starting another cohort January 2024. It is not a financial planning seminar, but rather a six-month, guided journey using principles of Ignatian spirituality to assist participants in discerning what God might be calling them to in this exciting “Next Chapter” of their lives. Participants meet once a month at St. Thomas on Saturday mornings with readings and reflection required between sessions.
