Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Info Session

Loyola University Maryland’s Office of Mission Integration invites members of the Baltimore community to participate in a program of spiritual exercises and prayer inspired by St. Ignatius Loyola. The nine-month program will begin this September. Learn more at an information session via Zoom on Thursday, Aug. 8, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

“Our approach will be one that Ignatius himself proposed for busy people, a way to make a prayerful and potentially transformative retreat in order to discern God’s presence in our everyday lives,” said the Rev. Steve Spahn, S.J., assistant teaching professor of theology and associate director of the Office of Mission Integration. “Over the course of nine months of daily prayer with scripture, journaling, and regular conversation with a spiritual guide, one can experience the same graced movements and discoveries that a privileged few get to make in 30 days of secluded silence.”

Nearly 250 people have participated in the program since it began eight years ago. To learn more, join the Zoom information session, and complete an online self-assessment application, visit the program’s webpage: Loyola.edu/department/mission-integration/spiritual-exercises.html
