LightWorks

A new retreat experience for faculty and staff, based on the Spiritual Exercises, will debut this academic year. LightWorks, an Ignatian way of praying throughout the year, invites participants to grow in their relationship with God and find greater freedom and clarity in their lives. LightWorks participants get a taste of what the full Ignatian Spiritual Exercises offer.

This retreat will encompass three sessions over 14 weeks during the academic year. The first four-week session began on Oct. 18. A second seven-week block begins Jan. 24. A final three-week block starts April 18. Retreatants are asked to commit to the entire 14-week program, and to a half-hour of daily prayer according to suggestions given.

Weekly gatherings will include input on spiritual experience and prayer in the Ignatian tradition, as well as large- and small-group sharing. These will be held on Wednesdays, 4-5:30 p.m. in the Knights Room of Pius XII Memorial Library. Retreat cost is $20.
The program is sponsored by the Division of Mission & Ministry and the St. Louis Center for Ignatian Spirituality.

To register, email your name, department, building and room number, and work phone to terneusl@slu.edu.
