We are nearing the end of the Ignatian Year: the 500th anniversary of the cannonball that struck Ignacio de Loyola which transformed his life and set him on a new journey with God and his companions.

In honor of this anniversary year, we commissioned a special reflection series from author Vinita Hampton Wright.  In this 12-part series, she invites us into deeper understanding of the resonance and relationship between St. Ignatius, Ignatian spirituality, and the 12 Steps.

The individual reflections will all be located here in the “Happenings”.  We are grateful for Vinita’s wisdom, and invite you to join the ISP community in praying with them this summer.
