Extending through the first year of employment, this program also offers opportunities for community-building through the formation of cohorts and the accompaniment of a mission mentor.

Once each semester, in preparation for Christmas (fall semester) and Easter (spring semester), an evening retreat is offered for all SLU colleagues to come away for quiet reflection and prayer during hectic holiday preparations to re-center and refresh.

An introductory gathering sets the tone for the read, optional small group discussions are offered, and a final luncheon with a related keynote presentation provides opportunities to reflect on SLU鈥檚 Jesuit, Catholic mission.

Once each semester, an Ignatian retreat is offered off-campus, beginning on Friday evening and concluding on Saturday evening.  This allows participants to sink more deeply into Ignatian spirituality personally and professionally.
