About the Center
Mission Statement
The mission of the Jesuit Spirituality Center is to assist individuals and groups to further their spiritual development and to keep alive the charism of Ignatian spirituality as embodied in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. The Center strives to fulfill this mission by:
- providing individual direction of the Spiritual Exercises over various periods of time;
- offering ongoing spiritual direction;
- offering programs that complement the Spiritual Exercises and meet the religious needs of specific groups.
Sponsored by the U. S. Central and Southern Province of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuit Spirituality Center provides a quiet and restful environment for those seeking to listen to God and to respond to God with generosity and openness through the Spiritual Exercises.
