Since
the mid-seventeenth century when Jean-Pierre Medaille, S.J. and
six women crossed paths in LePuy, France, Ignatian Spirituality
has permeated, influenced, empowered and been evident in the personal
lives and ministerial endeavors of Sisters of St. Joseph.
Ignatian Spirituality can be experienced in innumerable ways, whether
it be personal prayer, communal prayer, the 30-Day Spiritual Exercises
in a Retreat Center, the 19th Annotation Spiritual Exercises within
the context of your daily life, a 4-day or 8-day Directed Retreat,
an 8-month Spiritual Direction Internship Initiative, a 60-minute
spiritual direction session, a quick glance at St. Joseph Retreat
Center's gorgeous vistas or hours contemplating such beauty.

SPECIAL REGISTRATION
FORM
The Thirty-Day Spiritual Exercises is a very special, spiritual
experience. It is necessary to have made several 8-day Directed
Retreats and to be receiving individual spiritual direction in preparation
for this experience. The application process is more extensive than
it is for other, shorter directed retreats. A completed application
form, an autobiographical sketch and two recommendations are required
before acceptance is possible.
Please note that space will be limited, as retreatants on eight-day
experiences will also be at the Retreat Center during this time.
Therefore, space is limited and we ask that all applications be
submitted as soon as possible and no later than April 1.
This retreat will begin with arrival on June 21 after 3:00 P.M.
Dinner will be served at 6:00 P.M. followed by a general meeting
at 7:15 P.M. The next day there will be a general session in the
morning. Retreat will begin after dinner. The retreat will end with
an afternoon liturgy on July 22 followed by a reflective day to
help you process and share some of your experience before returning
home. Departure will follow an 8:30 A.M. liturgy on July 24. Your
participation in the full experience is required. Please make your
travel plans with these schedule details in mind.
