30 Day Program

The 30-Day silent retreat at the Jesuit Retreat Center offers the experience of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. The Exercises can be helpful for someone making a decision – whether it is a vocational choice, a decision regarding one’s current way of life, or pertaining to a period of transition. It is also an excellent experience for anyone in a time of renewal or sabbatical.

The retreat experience begins with two days of preparation and concludes with a day of reflection. During the retreat itself, the retreatant prays four or five times a day, sees a spiritual director once a day, and participates in daily Eucharist.

Normally, retreatants will have made at least one silent, directed retreat (eight days or 19th annotation) before embarking on the 30-Day; it is also expected that they will have already engaged in ongoing spiritual direction.
