19th ANNOTATION of the SPIRITUAL EXERCISES
The 19th Annotation of the Spiritual Exercises is a profound and transformative retreat experience that is made over a period of nine months in daily life. The Exercises are organized around four “weeks” as they were originally given during the structure of a 30 day retreat. St. Ignatius himself found that many people could not, because of family or business reasons, take thirty days off, leave home, and go away for a retreat. So he created an adaptation of the Exercises, which would be extended over a period of time. This is what is known as the 19th Annotation.
September 2020--May 2021 $750—$1400 sliding scale. To register call S Teresa at 201-602-2235 or S Carol at 570-704-9903 to register or for more information. Register by August 1, 2020.
