AMDG Chat: A Meaningful Conversation

November 19 | 5:00 – 6:15 pm

What am I doing with my life? What are my passions in life? Through these AMDG chats, our hope is that you will not only learn more about St. Ignatius's life calling, the founder of the Jesuits, but also about what your own calling might be. We’ll send you a drink card for a coffee or a Jamba Juice! Come and spend some time reflecting on Ignatian values, your own values, and what a Jesuit education means to you. Register by Nov. 11 to receive your gift card and materials!

Join Fr. Wayne Negrete, SJ, Chaplain of Loyola Law School and Assistant Director of the Center for Ignatian Spirituality, for an opportunity to pause, reflect, and utilize the tool of the Ignatian examen.
