SPA = Spirituality Program for Adults
YES, Walsh Jesuit has a SPA – a Spirituality Program for Adults!
SPA will be offering the Walsh Jesuit adult community of parents (present
and past), alumni, faculty and staff a retreat in the form of the Eight-Week Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola. The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), are the cornerstone of Jesuit spirituality.
The SPA Retreat aims to deepen your relationship with God and to help you discern more clearly his will for you in your daily life.

IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY COLLABORATIVE
promoting the Spiritual Exercises in Northeast Ohio
In January 2009, a group of individuals representing six Jesuit apostolates in Northeast Ohio came together to form the Ignatian Spirituality Collaborative of Northeast Ohio (ISC). The ISC’s mission is to bring organizations together to grow the ministry of the Spiritual Exercises in Northeast Ohio through communication and resources.
Representatives from the Jesuit Retreat House, the Ignatian Spirituality Institute at John Carroll University, the Spirituality Program for Adults at Saint Ignatius High School, Walsh Jesuit High School, Gesu Church, and the Ignatian Colleagues Program meet quarterly to share information about their efforts to promote the Spiritual Exercises. The ISC hopes to increase awareness and experiences of the Spiritual Exercises through increased communication and efforts such as the publication of a common calendar and list of spiritual directors. The Jesuit Retreat House serves as the center of the ISC. For more information, please visit the ISC webpage by clicking here.
