“He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor.”

— St. Ignatius

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

The first and second years will be putting their coursework aside to follow the annual five-day Ignatian retreat. This year Fr. Pedersen will be preaching the retreat for the men, and Fr. McDonald will be the retreat master for the ladies.

O my God, teach me to be generous
to serve you as you deserve to be served
to give without counting the cost
to fight without fear of being wounded
to work without seeking rest
and to spend myself without expecting any reward
but the knowledge that I am doing your holy will.
Amen
