University Catholic Center (formerly the Newman Center) at the University of Hawaii in Manoa will host the “Taize Prayer Around the Cross,” a quiet hour-long candlelight service of chant, prayer and reflection before the icon of the cross, at 7:30 p.m. on the Tuesdays of Lent, beginning Feb. 12.

Jesuit Father Chris Cartwright will lead the prayer, which he described as a “rich Lenten practice of reflection at the foot of the Tree of Salvation.”

Parking is available at neighboring St. Francis High School. For information, go to www.ucchawaii.org.
