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.

individually-directed silent retreats and to be currently receiving

SPIRITUAL
EXERCISES NINETEENTH ANNOTATION RETREAT
Joan M. McCarthy, CSJ
The Nineteenth Annotation Retreat is an alternative way to experience
the full Spiritual Exercises while remaining at home and continuing
one's normal routine. Retreatants commit to one hour of daily prayer,
a review of prayer and approximately 30 weekly, individual sessions
with the director. This is a very special, sacred 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.
Cost:
Nineteenth Annotation Retreat: $40 per session.
