Meet the Jesuits
Accompaniment Rooted in Ignatian Wisdom
Whether you come for a day of prayer or an extended retreat, the Jesuits at Sacred Heart are committed to offering a presence that is attentive, respectful, and grounded. Their role is not to direct outcomes, but to help create space where God’s voice can be heard more clearly.
