Ignatian Home Retreat at St. Laurence

Do you seek to strengthen your personal prayer, deepen your relationship with God, and learn to use scripture as a guide for prayer? Please join us for an Ignatian Home Retreat, an 8-week experience of prayer using themes from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. 

Retreatants pray every day (at home), using selected scripture passages, and meet weekly for 2 hours with facilitators at St. Laurence to share experiences, and receive input and guidance about prayer and the process. The home retreat is not a bible study. It is an opportunity to establish a more personal relationship with God by prayerful reading of scripture. It is a journey of the heart, not of the head. 

This year there are opportunities for daytime or evening sessions: 

Daytime Meeting dates are Thursdays February 12, 19, 26, March 5, 12, 19, 26 and Apil 9, 2026, 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Meetings will be facilitated by Spiritual Directors, Sandy Smith and Anne Marie Daniel and held at St. Laurence, Ave Maria Center St. Anne Room. 

Evening Meeting dates are Wednesdays February 4, 11, and 25, March 4, 11, and 25, and April 1, and 8, 2026, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
