God Our Refuge and Our Strength Retreat
An Ignatian retreat in daily life
Spend a week praying with Scripture passages that reassure us of God’s presence in this time of uncertainty and division, deepen our solidarity with all those who are suffering, and to show us how to live with hope in the present moment, and listen for how Christ invites us to be his disciple.
This one-week-long individually directed retreat is for individuals who wish to be introduced to praying in the tradition of St. Ignatius Loyola, that is, engaging the intellect, feelings, and imagination.
Dates: September 21 - 27, 2025
Registration Deadline: Sunday, September 7, 2025
