THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES OF ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA: A Retreat in the Real World via Zoom

Facilitated by Faith Nostbakken, PhD, and Carol Sebastian, BA.

A Retreat in the Real World, the 19th Annotation of the Ignatian Exercises, encourages a closer relationship with God by praying through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Participants spend an hour daily in personal prayer, keep a journal of their prayer experiences, share their prayer journey with a spiritual director every two weeks, and gather monthly for continued learning. The group meeting via Zoom is usually the second Tuesday of the month from 6:30 to 9:00 pm (exceptions may occur).
