Adult Ignatian Formation
Adult Ignatian Formation
All are invited to deepen and strengthen their spiritual education
In renewing our Ignatian Spirit, that spirit and tradition of St. Ignatius Loyola, the Founder of the Jesuits, our faculty, staff, students, and members of our Board of Trustees, have had many opportunities and encounters to deepen and strengthen our faith in the God of life and love.
In 2020, we expanded this renewal to include parents, alumni, alumni parents, benefactors, parishioners from local parishes, and other friends of Jesuit High School. We invite you to join us for any of the complimentary programs – think of them as “adult spiritual continuing education.” All are welcome.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Jesuit High School community!

The Suscipe Prayer
We pray this together as a community every Friday morning.
Throughout their years at Jesuit High School, your sons will be introduced to St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order, whose spirituality permeates our mission and identity. One of the exercises Ignatius encouraged was that of intentional discernment in our lives. We receive with gratitude the many Gifts from God, and offer them back to the Lord to be used in service to His greater glory. (AMDG=For the greater glory of God!) Each Friday morning we pray the Suscipe, which begins, “Take, Lord, receive…”
St. Ignatius 101
