Introducing The Ignatian Way
Our new Ignatian Way program equips ecumenical BIPOC and young adults with the tools of Ignatian spirituality and supports them in returning to their communities to break open the Word in transformative ways.
Funded by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, The Ignatian Way is a dual-track nine-month formation program that forms and endorses emerging leaders for public ministry in preaching and spiritual companionship while nurturing care for the whole person with retreats and regular prayer.
The first cohorts of Ignatian Way Preachers and Spiritual Companions begin October 31—and applications are now open!
