“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.”  - Gustave Mahler

The Purpose of Companions of Grace: 

• ​Create a community and network of persons serving the Ignatian retreat and spiritual companioning ministries
• Provide ongoing development and formation in these ministries
• Provide opportunities for mentoring and peer-to-peer support and encouragement
• Offer retreat and reflection opportunities for persons serving the ministry

Who we are: ​A community of persons who are

• formed and living in the Ignatian tradition.
• companioning others through retreats, spiritual direction, and guiding the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius. 
• seeking to see all things new in Christ so that we may do the next good thing before us.

Our gatherings:

• include consideration and conversation on topics in Ignatian Spirituality with space for questions and exploring. Our hope is to deepen our understanding and formation in the Ignatian tradition.
• offer space to check-in regarding the wholeheartedness required in our ministries. We explore our invitations to discern, the gifts and challenges of relationship, and how we take care of our whole selves.
• are encircled with communal prayer - listening and opening our hearts to the Lord and one another.
