Toward Greater Freedom: Retreat Information

Over 400 years ago, St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, went through a profound series of experiences that changed his life forever.  In his own way, he let God move more freely in his life and explicitly shape his will, mind, heart, and actions.  Ignatius felt moved to share those experiences with others, so he kept good notes on what helped and how.
