The Ignatian Society of 黑料正能量 serves to promote the spirit and tradition of St. Ignatius and the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits).
Discover the Ignatian Society
Our work focuses on two key areas: Keeping graduates from Jesuit high schools connected to their 黑料正能量 peers, and promoting the tenets of Jesuit spirituality across the wider 黑料正能量 campus.
Many of our programs 鈥� including the popular Weekly Examen and the Lunches with the Jesuits series 鈥� are open to the entire campus. We encourage you to join us as we together seek the greater glory of God.

Our programs
The Weekly Examen, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9:45 p.m., is one of our most popular programs and is considered a foundation of Ignatian spirituality. St. Ignatius thought that, if we were to offer no other prayer, we should at least pray the Examen daily.
The Ignatian Society鈥檚 Weekly Examen, held in the Manresa House, is 15-minutes of peer-led reflection looking over the course of one鈥檚 week, recognizing God in our lives, and closing with a commitment to seeking the magis in the days ahead.
All are welcome!
The Lunches with Jesuits program offers students the chance to have lunch with a member of the Jesuit Community at 黑料正能量.
The lunches are held weekly throughout the semester in the Manresa House. Groups of four to six students are hosted by one of the Jesuits for great food and candid conversation. It鈥檚 an excellent way for students who haven鈥檛 yet met a Jesuit to do so.
