UCLA Muoi

Muoi (Salt) is an all-inclusive Vietnamese Catholic prayer and support group based at the University of California, Los Angeles in Los Angeles, CA. The organization provides comprehensive spiritual development through structured programs centered on Saint Ignatius spiritual exercises, designed to help members realize and appreciate God's presence in their daily lives. Muoi offers multiple engagement pathways including general meetings, prayer activities, deep dives into spiritual topics, and community service initiatives that foster both personal reflection and active service.

The group's programming framework emphasizes four core pillars: prayer, reflection, discernment, and active service. Members participate in weekly general meetings held Wednesdays from 8:15-9:30 PM, specialized prayer activities, and thematic deep dives that explore Ignatian spirituality in depth. Muoi also organizes quarterly social events and orientation programs to welcome new members into the community.

With a focus on creating an inclusive environment for UCLA's Vietnamese Catholic community, Muoi serves students seeking meaningful spiritual growth and peer support. The organization operates under the University of California, Los Angeles umbrella and coordinates with the UCC (University Catholic Center), providing access to resources and facilities that support its mission. Through regular meetings, media resources, and infographics about Ignatian spirituality, Muoi equips its members with tools for deeper spiritual understanding.

The organization's quarterly themes and structured schedule ensure consistent engagement opportunities throughout the academic year. Whether seeking community, spiritual guidance, or meaningful friendships rooted in Catholic faith, Muoi welcomes all UCLA students interested in Vietnamese Catholic fellowship and Ignatian-centered spiritual practice in the Los Angeles area.
