Experience the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

You are invited to experience the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius personally in a special way during the coming academic year.

Your commitment will involve two things:

1) Daily prayer and meditation on scripture following the guidelines suggested by your director, who will guide you through the retreat.

2) An hour-long weekly meeting with your director, set up at JCU at a time convenient to your schedule.

Two formats are offered:

1) An eight-week commitment, beginning in late September/early October and ending in early December.

2) A 30-week commitment, beginning in late September/early October and ending late April or early May.

Those who will direct these exercises are interns or graduates of the Ignatian Spirituality Institute, a training program for spiritual directors which was inaugurated in 2003 at JCU. These people are professionals in various ministries, who have spent the past year or more studying the Spiritual Exercises. They have also made the full Exercises, and are highly qualified to accompany others through them. Other experienced spiritual directors may also be called upon.

For more information, contact the Director, Dr. Joan M. Nuth at jnuth@jcu.edu.

For an application form, contact Carol Polish at cpolish@jcu.edu.

Please apply by September 14.
