During the fall and winter months of their year in the Boston College AMDG program, each cohort traveled to one of four Jesuit retreat houses in the United States for a weekend-long preached silent retreat based on the Spiritual Exercises. On the retreat, a Jesuit retreat director, trained at Boston College, delivered nine talks that not only guided retreatants through Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises, but also challenged them to make connections between these 500-year old meditations and their lives as students, family members, friends, professionals, and Christians.
