The Road to Manresa Retreat seeks to open up the experience and spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose life was always evolving and ever-changing, in the hope that each and every one of us can learn ways to follow God in our everyday lives on campus and in our lives after leaving Marquette. As people of faith, we are called to the same kind of discerning lifestyle as St. Ignatius, continually seeking where God is calling us through our everyday practice of prayer and reflection. This is an individual and largely silent retreat experience that allows the retreatant to focus on those practices which are most helpful and can continue to be helpful well after the retreat has ended.
This retreat is open to all Marquette students, both undergraduate and graduate, yet is designed with upperclassmen and graduate students in mind."
