Adult Ignatian Formation

Overview

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!

(AMDG=For the greater glory of God!)  Each Friday morning we pray the Suscipe, which begins, “Take, Lord, receive…”
