A one week long Ignatian retreat for individuals who want to be introduced to praying in the tradition of St. Ignatius Loyola, that is, engaging the intellect, feelings, and the imagination.

Emmanuel Retreat – December 6 – 12, 2026
An individually directed Ignatian retreat for individuals who are seeking more familiarity with the practice of engaging with Scripture while using one’s imagination in prayer. Advent themes are interwoven into the retreat.

Lenten Retreat – February 7 – March 20, 2027
A six week long individually directed Ignatian retreat for individuals who are able to make a longer commitment to prayer and want to ‘taste’ the dynamics of the Spiritual Exercises in the 19th Annotation format.

Ignatian Retreats Facilitated in a Group:

A Young Adult Retreat:
