Together we have faced one of the most difficult years of our lifetime. Before the trying events of 2020, the Ignatian Spirituality Institute was flourishing with programs, classes, and retreats. Women and men came with the desire to nurture prayer, experience the Spiritual Exercises, and deepen their understanding of Ignatian spirituality. Then, the pandemic arrived at our doorstep.

REGISTRATION FOR SERIES FOUR is OPEN. ISI is delighted: Our Founder Emeritus Fr. Joseph A. Tetlow, S.J., internationally renowned Ignatian spiritual director and expert in the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola, will offer an online program Jesus of Nazareth, our Companion: the Human Experience of the Redeemer. Register here for Series Four
REGISTRATION is OPEN. Never forgetting that He grew, we learned how Jesus began His ministry and the “gathering” of God’s people. Now we are asking directly to “love Him more dearly.” We will love Him, as we love any other, as a whole person, in their totality. We have tried to know His virtues and to feel the limits human life place on Him. Now we try to see His fully human character and spirituality. They emerge as His conflict with the Pharisees and scribes reaches its crisis and as He begins to suffer, imagining the trials that He faces. And throughout His experience, He shows how He loves those the Father has given Him. Register here
