Dear Friends of the Loyola Institute for Spirituality,

​

We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you who joined us for our Hearts on Fire celebration. Together, we lifted our voices in song, celebrated the richness of Ignatian spirituality, and honored the incredible contributions of Mary Ellen Burton, Eric A. Clayton, Aida Ocampo, and Aurelio Castillo.

​

Thanks to your generous participation and support, we are thrilled to share that we exceeded our goal and raised over $80,000! Your generosity has a direct and immediate impact on our mission to invite, accompany, and empower individuals through Ignatian spirituality. Your gifts enable us to provide transformative spiritual formation to individuals, leaders, and organizations—within our Diocese and far beyond.

​

But our work doesn’t stop here—and neither does our accompaniment.

​

We’d love to know: How can we serve you?
Where do you sense God inviting you?
What stirrings are emerging within you or your community?

 

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, and whatever your calling may be, we trust that God meets you there. At LIS, we witness this truth daily—accompanying hundreds of people each year, in both English and Spanish, online and in person, across the country. Whether you’re new to Ignatian spirituality or a longtime practitioner, there is always more to explore, discover, and deepen.

​

We warmly invite you to join us at an upcoming retreat—whether for an hour, five weeks, nine months, or more. There’s always a space for you here.

​

Thank you once again for celebrating Hearts on Fire with us and for being such an essential part of our community.

​

With heartfelt gratitude,

​

​
