Program Title: Staff Spirituality Opportunities

Contact Person/Office: Charlie Drane

School : BC High

Program Description: Each year, our Rector presents to the faculty a menu of spirituality opportunities – some individual, some group. They include programs such as 30-week Spiritual Exercises, Ignatian Evenings, 19 ^th Annotation, and reading groups.

Rationale: While we attend to the religious growth of our students, we also need to have programs for the faculty. This menu of items does that.

Leadership: The Rector initiates the program and uses Jesuits, spiritual advisors, and volunteers to run the programs.

Implementation: The Rector coordinates the schedule of events.

Processes and Resources: Once people sign up, schedules are compared and the programs begin.

Finances: The costs for most are nothing. The Ignatian Evenings program has a small budget.

Rewards: This program has allowed faculty members to grow spiritually.

Time (When/Length): The time varies from 30 weeks to semesters to a few meetings – depending upon the program.

Location (Space): Various school meeting spaces are used. Ignatian Evenings take place at faculty members’ homes.

Accountability/Assessment: None really.
