Weekend Ignatian Retreat: Friday, February 7 - Sunday, February 9

The Center for Ignatian Spirituality invites current LMU faculty and staff colleagues to a weekend retreat based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

The retreat serves as an instruction to the Ignatian spiritual roots of LMU. No previous retreat experience or substantial knowledge of Ignatian spirituality is required. While the retreat is clearly rooted in the Catholic and Christian tradition, retreatants of all spiritual affiliations are welcome. Our time together includes presentations based on the Bible and Ignatian themes, time for quiet reflection and personal prayer, mass, and opportunities for sharing in group settings. One-on-one personal spiritual conversations are also available if desired.

The retreat begins after dinner on Friday 7 February and ends with lunch on Sunday 9 February. Accommodation is simple but comfortable and is in single-occupation rooms. All meals are provided on Saturday and Sunday.

Applications are now open here. While we will endeavor to accept all applications, the number of rooms at the retreat center is limited. All applicants will be informed on January 24, 2025 about the status of their application. Please note that all applicants are kindly expected to commit to being present through the whole of the retreat.

For all questions, please contact the Center for Ignatian Spirituality at ignacio@lmu.edu or (310) 338-3019.

Lenten Lunch, March 9

Each year, Faculty and Staff are invited to join a lunch hosted by the Center for Ignatian Spirituality to prayerfully welcome the Lenten season. LMU colleagues share in a peaceful experience of conversation, music, reflection and prayer as a much-needed pause from our daily responsibilities. This lunch supports the St. Roberts Center, Venice serving the low income family and homeless population, with a requested donation of $10 per person.

For more information, please email Ignacio@lmu.edu or call (310) 338-3019.
