Take the time this summer to renew and refresh your soul, and soak in silence on the shores of Puget Sound with this rich and meaningful 3-day Summer Ignatian Retreat.  This retreat will offer stirring presentations based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius; an atmosphere for silent reflection; and opportunities for individual spiritual direction, prayer, and sharing in the Eucharist.

People of all ages, faith traditions and spiritual backgrounds are welcome, especially those with an openness to deepening one’s experience of prayer in the Ignatian tradition. We encourage you to invite a friend, colleague or family member to join you!   If you have any questions, email Andrea Fontana, Program Coordinator, or call (206) 329-4824, ext.3.
