About this Event

This is an intensive nine-month retreat geared toward young adults seeking God’s will in their life, with a focus on experiencing God. The retreat is personalized for each individual, specific to their situation and issues;  Each person gets their own retreat director. 

The Spiritual Exercises Retreat was composed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). It is Church-approved, originally by Pope Paul III in 1548 (as part of the Catholic Reformation).

Normally, the Spiritual Exercises Retreat takes place intensively over 40 days at a retreat house in silence and isolation. The “Daily Life” format is an adaptation made by St. Ignatius to allow people to pray the retreat ‎whilst continuing their daily lives. A person prays for one hour a day (at home) and they meet weekly with their retreat director to discuss and discern the ‎presence and action of God in the past week’s prayer. The online retreat also involves attending instructional ‎lectures about prayer methodology and content.‎
