St. Ignatius’ early followers called themselves the Company of Jesus because they knew and loved Jesus so much. So, how can you know Jesus?

Come & See, a three-week series, invites you to explore friendship with Jesus through the Gospel of John. We’ll meet in the chapel for guided prayer and then discuss a two-page reflection.  Materials will be provided before the session to allow for a more meaningful discussion. Additionally, as part of this series, anyone wishing to experience spiritual direction may sign up for one-on-one spiritual direction with a trained guide.

Dates: July 12, 19, & 26

Series sessions will be held in the St. Ignatius Chapel from 10:45-11:30 am

Registration deadline: Sunday, July 5, 2026

Who is Come & See for? Everybody!  Whether you’re new to prayer, just curious about Jesus, or consider Jesus a longtime friend, this series is for you. Each session offers the chance to explore and pray with the gospel in an Ignatian way.  You’re welcome to attend one, two, or all three sessions. Emily Dennis, Coordinator of Ignatian Retreats, will lead the guided prayer and Ed McCormack, Ph.D., Senior Coordinator of Ignatian Training Programs, will facilitate the discussion of the provided material.

Have you ever wondered about spiritual direction, what it is and who it’s for? You can experience it as part of this series.

Spiritual direction is a ministry in which trained guides help individuals notice where and how God might be communicating with them. Participants in the Come & See sessions may request up to two meetings with a spiritual director. The spiritual direction sessions are one hour long and can be done online or in person at the parish center. Use the registration form to request spiritual direction and indicate the days and times you could meet.

Childcare is available for parents attending the chapel sessions.  Please use the registration form to request babysitting; light, engaging activities are planned. 

Register by July 5th if you would like to sign up for spiritual direction and/or childcare.
