Loyola University Maryland
Loyola University Maryland is a Jesuit university in Baltimore, Maryland.
About This Retreat:
Type: Retreat in Daily Life (sometimes referred to as the 19th Annotation)
Format: Our approach will be one that Ignatius himself proposed for busy people – a way to make a prayerful and potentially transformative retreat in everyday life. Over the course of nine months of daily prayer with Scripture, journaling, regular conversation with a spiritual director, one can experience the same graced movements and discoveries that a privileged few get to make in 30 days of secluded silence. (Yes, that would include the Jesuits!)
This particular Ignatian retreat is a rigorous experience that requires the dedication of time and discipline over the course of 9 months.
Those who do embark on this retreat will need to commit to the following:
One uninterrupted hour of daily prayer and journaling
Weekly, hour-long meetings with your spiritual guide
Orientation Session
Optional large group gatherings for Advent, Lent, and Easter seasons
Dates: September 2025 – May 2026
Location: In-person preferred, but Zoom a possibility; meeting locations are arranged by the director and retreatant
Apply: All interested persons must attend ONE Zoom Information Session
Thursdays, May 15, June 26 or August 7, 2025.
In addition to attending a Zoom Information Session, all retreatants are asked to complete the online Self-Assessment Application.
