Directed by Fr. Bill Noe, SJ

Rest and renew heart, mind, and soul on this weekday retreat at Ignatius House that brings closure to all that occured for you in 2022. Prepare new focus for the year ahead by leveraging tools from a nearly 500-year-old tradition called “Ignatian spirituality,” developed from the life and prayer of Spanish soldier-turned-saint Ignatius of Loyola. Return home in time to celebrate New Year’s Eve with loved ones.

You’ll be presented with suggestions to help you silently, prayerfully discern big or small stirrings in your life – whether a busy parent, a young adult, a caregiver, a widow, a community or workplace leader, or as someone who simply wants to grow closer to your creator.

This retreat includes at least three guided presentations, topics to contemplate and pray upon, and plenty of unscripted time for rest. Come rediscover not just your best self but your truest self – as God created you to be.

This is a silent retreat. Guests are expected to maintain a sacred silence throughout the retreat, including at meals, unless otherwise noted.
