Sometimes we need a little something extra to help us find time and energy for prayer. Sometimes we want to pray in community. Sometimes we prefer to pray by ourselves. We invite you to the First Spiritual Exercises (FSE) an accessible and flexible way to experience Ignatian spirituality. Retreatants will engage in personal daily prayer, journaling, and weekly small-group spiritual conversations. Mondays, June 30 - July 28, 2025 7pm - 8:30 pm (PDT) ONLINE Register today: www.loyolainstitute.org/fse #ignatianspirituality #firstspiritualexercises If you are interested in having this retreat offered in your parish or school please contact Elena Cardeña, Program Manager.

On Saturday, April 26, 2025 we gathered at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove to celebrate the work of Loyola Institute for Spirituality and the impact of Ignatian spirituality in the world. We honored Mary Ellen Burton with the Hearts on Fire Award, Eric A. Clayton with the Writer's Award in Spirituality, and Aida Ocampo and Aurelio Castillo with the Love in Action Award. We reunited with friends (old and new), we prayed, we broke bread together, and we lifted our voices in praise of our loving God. We hope you'll join us next year - April 25, 2026! (fb)
