Course overview
This series of spiritual events is designed to mark the Ignatian Year 500 in the Society of Jesus. Everyone is invited to celebrate with the Ignatian family. We will seek together an experience of encounter with Christ that has the power to change us just as much as it changed Ignatius of Loyola five hundred years ago.
In the British Jesuit Province, we are giving the theme “to see all things new in Christ” a particular slant: invited on pilgrimage, inspired to change. The Jubilee is a journey on which we walk or from which we learn. The London Jesuit Centre offers each term a way to experience this journey. Looking at the story of Ignatius in the key moments of his conversion, we will try to recognize something of our own life experience. The Ignatian Year is an opportunity to be changed, and so experience new developments in our life. We will look at our own personal story and seek ways to be open to change in our life. There is no prerequisite and you are welcome to join at any point. The story itself has the power to communicate with you at any stage.
Term 3 (April 2022 – July 2022)
Ignatius’ conversion story continues beyond the triptych of Pamplona – Loyola – Manresa: it only ends on the day of his death, July 31. In this last term we shall look at “My Jerusalem”, ways to give glory to God for everything encountered on our personal journey so far, the past and the present.
This journey will conclude with an invitation to young adults. Encourage young people around you to interact with the conversion story of Ignatius Loyola. The retreat ‘See All Things New’ can be made online with the Jesuit Institute or in person at St Beuno’s Jesuit Spirituality Centre.

The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
This is an online retreat day especially for you to set aside time with God while making. You will find your own quiet space to be at work and use your own materials of choice. There will be suggestions for prayer and opportunities to share your prayer.
An online retreat in daily life enables you to make time for prayer and reflection in the midst of daily commitments. It is suitable both for people who feel like they don't have enough time to pray and for those who simply feel like their prayer life needs refreshment.
