If your soul needs light and peace and hope this program is for you. The time commitment is well worth it and to make it easier for you we are offering it both in the afternoon and the evening. You can swap back and forth if needed. Pope Francis is a Jesuit from the core of his being and his writings give witness to the depth of his understanding of world issues and Ignatian Spirituality for today. This is honestly a terrific treatment of the Spiritual Exercises for today's times as well as a good summary of Francis' teaching during his 11 years of pontificate. We will use First Belong to God by Austen Ivereigh. Led by S. Kathy Burton.  Donation: $150
