Short Program Description:

The Ignatian Seminar is a series of small-group gatherings that allow faculty and staff at Spring Hill College to step back from their day-to-day duties and preoccupations to explore, in a peaceful and supportive atmosphere, the sources of the College’s mission. The starting point is their own spiritual journeys: “Where have I been? Where am I going at this moment in my life?”

Through reading, reflection and discussion, participants explore some of the themes of the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola and Jesuit education—hoping that a deeper understanding will enrich their own spirituality and their work at Spring Hill.
