The Ignatian Spiritual Formation courses are designed to engage and heighten our awareness of God’s love for us and his desire to see us develop into who we are created to be. Participants discover and discern their abilities and spiritual gifts to be more effective leaders in their faith communities and beyond.

Who is this for?
-Spiritually hungry seekers who desire to deepen their relationship with God, self, and others
-Leaders who desire to serve from a deeper spiritual foundation
-Anyone who desires to form and to accompany others on their spiritual journey

While courses can be taken individually for personal growth and enrichment, there is also a certificate program for those interested in spiritual accompaniment or leadership formation. It includes two levels of courses, the Spiritual Exercises retreat, and a practicum. The program can be completed at your own pace or in as little as 15 months.

LIS is a source of Continuing Enrichment Credit (CEC) hours for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange.

Join us for our one-hour, online, monthly gathering for everyone who has experienced the Spiritual Exercises. Prayer, spiritual conversation, and community.

Registration is now open for our 9-month Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life Retreat!

Do you desire a closer relationship to God?

Are you longing for a community of like-spirited individuals?

Are you ready to deepen your faith?

The Spiritual Exercises are a method of prayer that invites all to a deepening self-awareness and a heightened sense of God’s active and loving presence in our lives.

The full Spiritual Exercises retreat is made over a 9-month period in daily life (19th Annotation) or over a 30-day period of silence.

The application window opens on July 1st of every year and closes mid August. Once you have applied, it will be followed by an interview with one of our team to discuss the retreat and answer any of your questions. You will then have time to discern whether this is the right time for you to embark on this journey.
