Retreat and Spirituality Ministry

Showing the Way to God

The U.S. Central and Southern Province runs five traditional retreat houses and several spirituality centers where you can find spiritual accompaniment in the Ignatian tradition.

Many people experience the inspiration of St. Ignatius when they make a day of reflection, or a weekend, five- or eight-day retreat. Others commit to the “Retreat in Everyday Life,” a special adaptation of the Exercises that involves six to eight months of prayer and spiritual direction.

Whatever form the Spiritual Exercises take, they have a transformative power to reshape lives and unloosen an incredible freedom to respond to God’s invitation to come closer.

“And did we not brush up against some Mystery together here? Did we not speak here as the angels speak, in a language beyond words? Did we not hear God singing to us? What can compare to that, really?”

-- Paul Mariani, Thirty Days: On Retreat with the Exercises of St. Ignatius
