The Retreat in Daily Life Together is one way in which the spiritual legacy of St. Ignatius of Loyola continues to transcend the centuries as a dynamic aid to spiritual growth for people today. The retreat takes place over an extended period of time within the context of everyday life.

The spirituality of the Ignatian Exercises is at the heart of the spiritual life of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, whose members have chosen to include this retreat in the observance of the 175th anniversary of their founding. It will extend from October 2020 to May 2021 during the year of celebration.
The retreat is an invitation and opportunity to deepen your personal relationship with God and your life of love and service in communion with all that God has created.
