Please join us for Table of Grace, our annual Advent celebration at Holy Trinity Parish on December 3 at 6:30 p.m. Together, we’ll share a meal, pray, and make space for the hope of a new beginning through the wisdom of the Twelve Steps and Ignatian spirituality.

About Us

ISP Washington, DC began in 2009 thanks to a small group of enthusiastic and committed volunteers and the support of Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Today we have an active men’s and women’s program and strong relationships with multiple social service agencies across the DC area. ISP Washington DC currently hosts eight overnight retreats per year and twice-monthly spiritual reflections at multiple partner agencies. Every Advent, the team hosts a dinner and prayer event with Holy Trinity for the entire ISP community. Additionally, several team members and alumni actively participate in ISP’s national facilitator formation retreats and the alumni leadership program. Several DC team members have been recognized as Ambassadors of Hope and leaders on a national level.

As one of over 20 cities within the ISP Network, ISP Washington D.C. has brought experiences of love, hope and healing to thousands of individuals. For more information, please see the WDC Info Sheet.

Alumni Voices

Many ISP participants become retreat witnesses, team leaders, and facilitators and are a part of the leadership opportunities offered by the ISP Network. We are so grateful for their authenticity and willingness to share their stories with the community. Jerome and Charlene both encountered ISP when they needed it most and found the retreat to be a turning point. Read Jerome and Charlene’s stores and other stories of hope and belonging here.
