Faith & Service

Adult Spirituality

The Office of Adult Spirituality focuses its ministry on accompanying members of the Bellarmine community in their journey of life, work and faith. In the Ignatian tradition, the focus of these offerings are for individuals to explore their spirituality, to examine and deepen their ongoing relationship with God, and to acquire greater knowledge of the Ignatian tradition and spirituality.
