Who we are

The Ignatian Center is an organization of people who have fallen in love with Jesus through praying the Ignatian Exercises and are dedicated to sharing that life-changing encounter with others.
Our mission
The Ignatian Center was founded by Dale Gish and other Ignatian directors. Our mission is to provide Ignatian offerings and resources for people at every stage of their Ignatian journey. We want more people to be exposed to Ignatian spirituality, more people to pray the Ignatian Exercises, more spiritual directors to offer the Ignatian Exercises, more people to continue on a longer Ignatian journey after praying the Exercises. We also want to provide a vibrant community for Ignatian spiritual directors.
In the long run, we want to become like the Center For Action and Contemplation, but for Ignatian spirituality. What we become is in God’s hands. We can only give ourselves more and more to Jesus and go where his love and grace will lead us.
If this mission inspires you and aligns with yours, we invite you to consider partnering with us in one or more of the following ways:
