Retreat: Glimpsing God in the Midst of Change: A Spiritual Pilgrimage

Villa Maria del Mar 21918 E Cliff Dr., Santa Cruz, CA, United States

All of us carry touchstone moments that have defined us as people of faith. Over these past three years of constant change and instability, it’s been difficult to recognize the God we once knew. Through the lens of Ignatian Spirituality, this spiritual pilgrimage will give us an opportunity to glimpse a God who gently tells us, “I’m here. Trust me. I love you.” We will experience this pilgrimage together through meditation, conversation, liturgy, presentations, personal prayer, and rest.

Presenters: Fr. Radmar Joa, SJ & Teresa Nygard
