Programs & Retreats

ISC programs and retreats aim to meet you wherever you are in your spiritual journey and to help you deepen and explore your relationship with God.

Programs & retreats include:

  • Learning about the Ignatian tradition and vision that have emerged from the life and Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and from those who have since followed in his footsteps.

  • Experiencing the gifts and fruits of Ignatian prayer and contemplation.

  • Reflecting on the integration of Ignatian spirituality with daily personal experience, decision-making, vocation, relationships, and service of others in today’s culture and world.

We hope participants will encounter a loving God who is found in all things, and who labors through us to nurture healing, compassion, and justice.
