About the Event

Please refer to our current COVID restrictions and requirements by visiting our website for info.

This small group program is designed for those who have completed the Full Spiritual Exercises of St.

Ignatius of Loyola. Through input, prayer, personal reflection, and group sharing, participants will gain

greater understanding of Ignatian principles and their own personal growth.

Additional Information: Savoring the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola: Deepening our Retreat Experience.

So often, people who come to the close of the Full Exercises of St. Ignatius long for something to help them continue to grow in deepening that experience. This series is just that! This group is open to anyone who has completed the Full Exercises of St. Ignatius through the 30-Day Retreat, 19th Annotation Retreat in Daily Life, or through other options offered to do the Complete Exercises. It is important to have your Spiritual Exercises Journal with you so that you can revisit your initial experiences and consider how the graces received continute to influence your current life situation. The group will meet once a month for five months. At each gathering, participants will receive some input on the ‘Week’ being reflected on at that meeting, and then share their own reflections of their personal experiences of the 'Week' with the group. Between sessions, participants will be expected to take time to pray, reflect, and journal in preparation for the next gathering. This series of five  sessions begins in February and concludes in June. The evening begins at 7 pm and concludes at 9 pm.

Session dates: February 17, March 17, April 21, May 19, and June 16 2022. Free parking in the Centre parking lot!
