A One-Day Retreat

Facilitated by Philip Shano, SJ

This one-day retreat is offered in the Season of Advent and will be structured around the Incarnation exercise of Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, in which God is imagined as gazing with love upon the whole of creation. The day will be both instructional and experiential, as we allow ourselves to be gazed upon by God in this season of hope.

The day will include presentations, prayer exercises, time for personal reflection, celebration of the Eucharist, interaction with other participants, and Loyola House’s hospitality. As always, participants can make use of the beautiful, vast grounds of IJC with the quiet beauty of this time of year. The day includes a delicious, wholesome lunch prepared by the renowned Loyola House kitchen.

Philip Shano has been a Jesuit for over 45 years and recently returned to serve at Loyola House, having previously been on the team in the 1990s. Most of his diverse Jesuit ministry has involved retreat work, education, formation and leadership – all rooted in the dynamics of Ignatian spirituality.

Prices:

  • $85.00 for the day
