Featuring members of the Jesuit Mission Band
| Jesuit: |
pertaining to the Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola |
| Mission: |
as in a "parish mission," an event with presentations, prayer, social time, silence, and song - but here for a whole city |
| Band: |
as in a group or team, e.g. "band of brothers," not as in a "rock band," but yes, there will be music too! |
WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING:
“I can’t remember the last time... I spent a good hour in prayer. Having
that time set aside was very much needed, and even more fruitful.
Praying by means of Ignatian contemplation is definitely something I’ll
continue to do.” Annie, Milwaukee
“St. Ignatius and the Holy Spirit inspired you well. Each talk tugged at
my heart. It was wonderful to ‘fall in love with Jesus’ all over again.
Thank you!” Patty, Iowa City
“I’d be surprised if a single retreatant went home without at least one
talk having set his or her heart on fire.” Tom, Chicago
“I liked the consolation/desolation talk. It helped explain some of the
realities we experience and how to deal with them.” Ron, Philadelphia
