1-Day Ignatian Retreats

Day long Ignatian retreats are designed using the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola as well. Get away from the hectic pace of life and take time to deepen your relationship with God by engaging your heart, mind, body and eternal soul. Hear God speak to your heart in a small group setting with periods of silence throughout the day or schedule a day for your own private retreat.

Expect God to work in powerful ways through the promises of His revealed Word combined with the rhythm that St. Ignatius developed to contemplate it.  The exercises are Holy Spirit inspired and the word of God is living and active, so each retreat is a non-repeatable experience.
