Ignatian Retreat

The Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College invites you to participate in Twelve Weeks in Manresa: Spiritual Exercises for our Times, a virtual retreat in daily life based on the Spiritual Exercises, from June 7- August 30.  The retreat uses a text offered through Jesuit Sources: “Finding Christ in the World: A Twelve Week Ignatian Retreat in Everyday Life,” by Joseph Tetlow, S.J., and Carol Atwell Ackels. The book is an extended adaptation for praying with the Exercises. It provides daily content for prayer and space for taking notes. 

In addition to the book, which will guide your daily prayer, there are two additional components of the retreat: optional presentations on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, led by Fr. Casey Beaumier, S.J., and optional small group faith sharing.

If you would like to join in a faith sharing group with others from JST, please contact Paul Kircher at pkircher@scu.edu by May 29.  Alternatively, you may choose to join a group outside of JST. 

The registration deadline is May 29.  Click here to register.   To ensure that you receive the book by June 7, please order the book as soon as possible, especially given the potential shipping delays related to COVID-19.
