Bridges Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
in Everyday Life
September 2022 thru May 2023
Are you looking for a deeper prayer life and a closer relationship with God? Are you trying to discern a major life decision? If so, the Bridges “Retreat in Everyday Life,” based on the 450+ year-old Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, may be what you need. This nine-month retreat is designed and adapted for persons in all walks of life. The retreat consists of daily prayer and journaling (experiencing discernment, contemplation, meditation), in addition to weekly or monthly small group meetings and weekly time with a prayer companion who listens to your experiences and provides oral and written guidance through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The retreat runs September into May
and coincides with the Church’s liturgical calendar.
The retreat begins in September 2022, and information sessions (like the retreat) will be offered at four Greater St. Louis-area sites on various days and times this summer, as well as a virtual “Zoom” session.
For more details about the retreat and information session schedule, visit: www.bridgesfoundation.org. For questions, contact Steve Givens, executive director, at: executive.director@bridgesfoundation.org or 314-401-2072.
Free information sessions about the Bridges Retreat are offered in the summer throughout the St. Louis area. At an Information Session, you will hear presentations from leaders and former retreatants and have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the Bridges Retreat and the application process. The sessions last about 90 minutes.
