The Bridges Retreat
A life-changing experience of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola in Everyday Life
The 19th AnnotationFor more than 35 years, the Bridges community has been helping others connect and integrate the 500-year-old Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola into their busy lives.
