Saint Ignatius High School

Spirituality Program for Adults

Parents, alumni, employees, neighbors and friends can participate in retreats, prayer services and spiritual direction offered by our Spirituality Program for Adults. Regular events are open to all throughout the year.

"Give yourself the gift of this time. Open the door just a bit and trust that God will do the rest. Watch how He moves in your life. That is my prayer for us all; to simply let God in and let God be God."

Come and See: A Six-Week In-Person Retreat

Come and See: A Six Week Experience of Ignatian Prayer and Community debuted in 2020 as a new way to grow in faith, learn about Ignatian spirituality, and be part of a supportive community. It is structured intentionally to facilitate meaningful prayer, reflection and small group experiences. Through prayer and weekly group conversations, participants will learn about Ignatian spirituality and grow closer to God.

Lenten Daily Reflection Email

During Lent, members of our community can receive a daily email with a Scripture-based reflection written by a student, teacher, staff member, alumnus, Jesuit, or administrator. Sign up here!

Alumni Retreat

An annual Alumni Retreat for alumni of Saint Ignatius is held annually in February. This two-day, one-night retreat at the Jesuit Retreat House in Parma pulls in many of the themes from the popular Kairos retreat and is open to alumni from all class years.

Employee Faith Formation

Faculty and staff at Saint Ignatius are required to participate in a five-year Employee Faith Formation program. With semi-weekly meetings, new employees go through each year of formation with the members of their own cohort--those who were hired the same year as them. It also includes separate sessions for first-year faculty to help accommodate their adjustment to policies, procedures and culture of the school.

Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and Spiritual Direction

For those ready and able to pray the full Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius in Everyday Life, S.P.A. offers this retreat (in the 19th Annotation format) over 32 weeks. Saint Ignatius also provides opportunity for Individual Spiritual Direction with one of many trained spiritual directors. (Sign up HERE!)
