"Dear young people, keep running the race before you. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith. And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us."  

— Pope Francis

INTERCONNECTED
April 23rd - May 16th 2021


Walk with other Catholics as we learn, pray, and take action for environmental justice. 
In his encyclical Laudato Si’, Pope Francis invites all people to act on behalf of creation. This call to action is grounded in the principle of integral ecology—the idea that environmental, social, political, and economic systems are interwoven—and sustained by a sense of wonder before the interconnected nature of all life. The environmental justice movement similarly asks us to view the world as interconnected and prophetically calls us to change the systems that create the unjust distribution of environmental hazards.

Francis Fellowship

St. Agnes Young Adult Ministry is called the 
FRANCIS FELLOWSHIP at the Ignatian Spiritual Life Center (ISLC).

As young people, we have a special role to play in the Church. We bring an unique perspective on the current experience of the Church and world, offering a true and authentic enthusiasm and energy propelled by the Holy Spirit that feeds the whole community while bringing much needed hope and prayer. The Church is enriched and enlivened by us. 

The ISLC at St. Agnes and the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) value the unique and integral contribution of young people to the Church. So much so that one of the Jesuits' Universal Apostolic Preferences is "Journeying with Youth: Accompanying Young People in the Creation of a Hope-Filled Future." We are deeply committed to this endeavor through our ministry with the FRANCIS FELLOWSHIP.

Rooted in Jesuit identity and enriched by Ignatian Spirituality, the ISLC is committed to deeply forming and empowering young adults to live out a faith that does justice through fellowship, prayer, reflection, and discussion.

If you have questions or would like to know more, please reach out to the Young Adult Contact, Dan Nevares, SJ at YoungAdults@SaintAgnesSF.com.  

​Open to all graduate students and young adults in the San Francisco Bay Area, the FRANCIS FELLOWSHIP seeks to build fellowship and faith among young adults. Join us this year at the ISLC and via Zoom!

Ignatian Prayer Resources 

  • Reimagining the Examen App --- A modern take on St. Ignatius Loyola's 500-year-old prayer adapted to users' particular needs and situations. With thoughtful reflections on relationships, pending decisions, times of transition, or gratitude, all can review their day with God wherever they are.​
  • Sacred Space --- Daily prayer offerings based on Scripture and meditative guidance rooted within Ignatian Spirituality.  ​​​
  • Jesuitical --- A podcast for young Catholics hosted by two young, lay editors at America. Each episode will bring you some of the top (and maybe more obscure) Catholic news of the week. Episodes include special guests who offers a unique perspective on world events, culture or our faith, always asking, "Where do we find God in all this?"​
  • Click To Pray --- Unique daily prayers that unite people across the world to pray for the mission of the Church, the Pope and each other.

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.
