Presenter Information:

Michael Harter, SJ joined the Jesuits in 1961 and is a member of the U.S. Central and Southern Province of the Society of Jesus. His various assignments have taken him from St. Louis to Denver and St. Paul in addition to New York and Oregon, and from Canada to Australia including sabbatical time in Africa. He has accompanied young Jesuits during their years of formation and has worked in publication and administration at other times. Currently, Fr. Harter is a member of the support staff at St. Ignatius Hall in Florissant, Missouri, living among other elderly and infirm Jesuits who are making their best efforts to age gracefully together.

The Marketplace Spirituality Retreat is for 2024-25 Bridges retreatants, as well as for others — as space permits — who have at some point completed the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola.

The in-person retreat includes refreshments on Friday evening and Continental breakfast and a box lunch on Saturday.

Limited overnight accommodations are available on Friday, March 28 at the Motherhouse. There are only 11 total beds available, including three double rooms for couples/friends ($100) and 5 single rooms ($60). Most rooms do not have private baths but share nearby facilities. Rooms with private baths are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will give preference for overnight accommodations to anyone coming from out of town.

On Saturday, April 12 from 9 a.m. to noon (CT), an online version of the retreat will be offered for those not able to attend in person, utilizing video from the March 28-29 event and live dialogue and reflection with other participants and prayer companions.
