Ignatian Spiritual Formation Program (ISFP)

We want to invite everyone to consider joining the Ignatian Spiritual Formation Program (ISFP). This is a great time to consider becoming a part of this wonderful program...new classes will begin this Fall. The ISFP program is offered to those who desire to begin or have already begun to exercise some form of spiritual ministry and are looking for further growth and expertise. The ISFP is composed of three parts, each taking approximately one year. The first-year courses, however, are open to all, even if they may not be interested in the full three-year program. Upon graduation from the ISFP program, lay “Associates” are equipped to work side-by-side with the LIS staff during retreats, conferences, and workshops.
