Retreat Houses

Ignatian spirituality, the vision of the relationship between God and the human person grounded in the mystical experiences of St. Ignatius Loyola, has its primary expression in his book, Spiritual Exercises. More than 20 retreat houses and spirituality centers in the United States provide a variety of services based on the Spiritual Exercises. Some 200 Jesuits are engaged full-time in directing people through the Exercises -- clergy, men and women religious and lay people. Jesuits who are primarily committed to other apostolates often share their spirituality with colleagues and students through retreats and spiritual direction.
