Welcome to the Ignatian Associates!

We are an intentionally formed Christian faith community unified by our adherence to the Gospel, our experience of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and our practice and promotion of Ignatian spirituality.

Through faith sharing and apostolic works, we support and encourage each other to live our Promises of: Simplicity of Life; Apostolic Availability; and Fidelity to the Gospel, our Associate Community, and our Ignatian companions.

Ignatian Associates® are lay women and men formed by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola and Ignatian Spirituality. We are committed to being faithful to the gifts and inspiration we receive from our spiritual formation, and we do this in community with others.

If you are seeking to learn more about this multi-city community of lay people practicing Ignatian Spirituality, we invite you to peruse these pages and listen to the movements of your heart as you do so.

The Twin Cities Ignatian Associates are hosting an Advent Retreat on November 23, 2024 with Sr. Catherine Michaud CSJ PhD entitled “Celebrating Mystery”. Detailed information and registration materials available HERE.
