Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius
For nearly 500 years, the Spiritual Exercisis of St Ignatius of Loyola have been changing lives. Here at the SSC, we offer opportunities to make the spiritual exercises every summer. This is a silent retreat in which you meet with a spiritual director daily, and spend several hours each day praying with various "exercises" as assigned by your director. It is a wonderful way to deepen your prayer life and your intimacy with the Lord. These retreats are generally 8 days in length.
It is possible to make a retreat like this at other times of year as well, depending on what else is going on at the center. -
Personal Retreats
Poustinia Days: The Russian word poustinia means “desert,” and refers to a simple room where one goes alone to fast, pray, and commune with God. It was popularized by Servant of God Catherine De Hueck Doherty, founder of Madonna House. The poustinia is especially recommendable for those on the front lines of ministry, and worth considering on a monthly basis. Spiritual direction is available if desired. Contact the center to schedule a day, or a few days alone with the Lord!
