Ignite Retreat

February 21-23, 2025

(Priority Registration Deadline February 7th)

The Ignite Justice Retreat is a new Campus Ministry offering for the 24-25 school year. Within our community we have student activists, advocates, and allies that support the work, and are passionate about so many different dimensions of justice. The Ignite Justice Retreat aims to gather these student justice workers together for a weekend of community building, reflection, rest, and hope. Over the course of this Friday to Sunday retreat, we will explore the stories and people that inspire our justice journeys. We will reflect on and integrate our justice passions into faith and value systems that can provide grounding and purpose. We will delve into rest as resistance and learn practical tools for preventing burnout in one’s justice work. And finally, we will each ask “now what” as we discern ways that justice can continue being a part of our lives at Loyola and beyond. 

On the Ignite Justice Retreat, we are aware that not everyone has the same passion for every justice issue. Nor will everyone agree fully on how we build a more just world. However, sharing stories, values, and building community across difference is one way that justice is made manifest in the world.  

People can attribute their passion for justice to a variety of sources. Because this is a Campus Ministry facilitated retreat, students should be comfortable with the invitation to explore their justice journey within the context of their own faith or value system. Justice is an issue of the common good and has threads throughout all our lives and across religious traditions.
