Ignatian Companions During the COVID-19 Pandemic


No First Year Companions for 2020-2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we won't be offering the program to new participants in the 2020-2021 program year because they wouldn't get the full experience of the Ignatian Companions program. An essential part of the experience is the formation of trust and bond among the first year Companions and the facilitators which can only be achieved by meeting in-person for most of the program year. 

​However, we are offering an alternative. You would still be able to deepen your spiritual life and explore Ignatian Spirituality by participating in:
  • The one-day retreat at the beginning and ending of the program year.
  • Monthly program meetings with an existing cohort/group at your location.
  • Individual monthly meetings with a spiritual director. (Optional)

Meeting with one of the existing cohorts would not be the same as the first year or second year programs which are structured -- i.e., they use a printed guide, some books and the monthly meetings are facilitated by one or two facilitators. The existing cohorts are self-directed in that they decide as a group what books to read throughout the program year, discussions tend to be organic and people may share their service experiences. But, attending with an existing cohort would expose you to Ignatian Spirituality in practice. All our monthly gatherings were in-person. But they have since been meeting through Zoom.

If you would like more information about the program or the alternative experience we offer, c

ABOUT US
A ministry of St. Agnes Parish in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, the Ignatian Spiritual Life Center has a three council structure that discerns the programming we need to live an Ignatian life of devotion and service. Our areas of focus are Church Justice, Global Justice and Spiritual Life. Each council offers programming aimed at mobilizing the larger community to love the world the way God intends. Programming includes adult education and faith formation, the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, spiritual direction, opportunities for prayer and retreat, and an ongoing commitment to dialogue and service in our Church and world.
