Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center to offer retreat on Ignatian spirituality

Jesuit Father William Blazek will be the presenter for a weekend retreat called “Following Our Holy Desires” at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center, 8220 W. State Road 48, in Bloomington, beginning with Mass at 7 p.m. on Feb. 16 and ending after 10 a.m. Mass on Feb. 18.

One of the central tenets of Ignatian spirituality is that God speaks to us in the deepest desires of our heart. Recognizing and following these holy desires can help us to configure our will to that of the Father, and help us to find a place of genuine happiness and spiritual joy.

The cost ranges from $220 for a single room to $100 per person for a room of four. The commuter rate is $50. All Saturday meals and Sunday breakfast are included.
