Welcome to the website of the Bridges Foundation. 

Thanks for responding to the Ad and taking the first step toward experiencing the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola with us!

For nearly 35 years, we have been providing the opportunity — and the community — for individuals to experience this life-changing, nine-month retreat in daily life. The Bridges retreat begins every September at numerous St. Louis-area sites, and we now offer an online option.

If you have been seeking out a new way to grow in your faith, I challenge you to take a few minutes to watch the video below, and consider being a part of the Bridges Retreat:

And while you’re here, grab a cup a coffee and enjoy some of our videos about Ignatian spirituality. Explore our website. We hope you will join us.

If you have questions or would just like to talk to someone about the Bridges experience of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, email me at executive.director@bridgesfoundation.org

Let’s schedule a time to talk.
