Spiritual Exercises for Everyday Living (SEEL) St. Raphael Parish, St, Petersburg, is offering a 5th annual 30-day Ignatian retreat using the Spiritual Exercises but designed for busy people over the course of 32 weeks with ample breaks for holidays. The journey will begin in October and end in May. Perhaps this experience has been a desire of yours in ministry for years and now is your opportunity. An in-person weekly group meeting is available, as well as an online zoom group meeting option. There are several local spiritual directors as well as spiritual directors from around the country who avail themselves for retreatants. Participation does require an interview to gauge spiritual maturity and readiness and perhaps a prerequisite Intro to Prayer offered in September using the Lectio Series.
