You are cordially invited to have the full experience of the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola right here at Saint Raphael the Archangel Catholic Parish! This retreat, created by Saint Ignatius himself for busy people, will take the participants through the entire experience of the Spiritual Exercises, and will follow the liturgical year from just before Advent until the Easter season.
Through a series of meditations and contemplations, reflections, and prayers, you will deepen your relationship with God, understand God's unconditional love and mercy for you, journey with Jesus through his life and conclude with a deeper sense of your own mission in life. The retreat will also include weekly meetings with a Spiritual Director.
The next retreat will begin in Advent 2025.
