Two Loyola Press authors will lead weekend retreats at Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House near Chicago in the early months of 2025. Consider these opportunities to enter the silence and learn from experienced and inspiring speakers.

Becky Eldredge, author of Busy Lives & Restless Souls and The Inner Chapel, will lead a women’s retreat on the theme of “Seeking Grace.” In her talks, Becky will facilitate “reflections and guided prayer on the truly amazing grace of God.” This retreat is January 31 through February 2, 2025.

Then April 4–6, 2025, Br. Guy Consolmagno, SJ, Director of the Vatican Observatory and the President of the Vatican Observatory Foundation, will lead a retreat titled, “A Jesuit Guide to the Stars.” Explore the connection between spirituality and astronomy with the author of the upcoming book, A Jesuit’s Guide to the Stars: Exploring Wonder, Beauty, and Science.

If a weekend retreat isn’t for you at this time, Fr. J. Michael Sparough, SJ, co-author of What’s Your Decision?, will lead a day of reflection on February 17, 2025. The theme is “What’s Next? Discerning Your Decisions in the Ignatian Tradition.”
