The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius:

Individually Directed Retreats in Daily Life:  

God Our Refuge and Our Strength – September 21 – 27, 2025
A one week long retreat in the Ignatian tradition for those who wish to engage intellect, feelings, and imagination in 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 disciples.

Abiding in God’s Love Retreat –  January 25 – 31, 2026
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 7 – 13, 2025
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 15 – March 28, 2026
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.
