Programs

For those in Jesuit Ministry:

Programs to deepen one’s knowledge and experience of the Ignatian heritage:

Ignatian Leadership for Mission retreats: Five day silent retreats for Jesuit and lay colleagues in province ministries. Participants pray for the four key graces of the Spiritual Exercises : gratitude, healing, call and co-laboring. Currently offered semi-annually.

The Magis Program: An eighteen month program for lay colleagues in province works. Participants attend seminars and a retreat that addresses the topics of Ignatian spirituality, Jesuit history and way of proceeding and the Jesuit mission of a faith that does justice.

For those interested in exploring Ignatian spirituality:

The Spiritual Exercises were developed by St. Ignatius to help people discover their true selves in relationship to God and others, and by doing so, be more effective in the world.

A Year of Prayer. Since Fall 2005, groups have been gathering to pray for the four key graces of the Spiritual Exercises. Materials are available.

Between the Lines. Groups gather to discuss books from various literary genres illustrating the four key graces.
