Individually Directed Online Retreats in Daily Life:
Speak the Truth in Love Retreat – September 22-28, 2024 and October 20-26, 2024
As disciples of Jesus we have a mandate to love one another. How do we live as loving disciples in the midst of so much vitriolic rhetoric in our political discourse? How do we respond to the November 5 election if our candidate wins or loses? This retreat engages those questions and invites us to grow in the likeness of Christ.
Emmanuel Retreat – December 8-14, 2024
An individually directed online Ignatian retreat, made at home, 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.
Abiding in God’s Love Retreat – January 26 – February 1, 2025
A one-week-long individually directed online retreat made at home 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.
Lenten Retreat – March 2 – April 6, 2025
A six week long individually directed online Ignatian retreat made at home 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. The retreat is appropriate for those who have made an Ignatian retreat previously or the full Spiritual Exercises.
