El Retiro Society

Our Mission

 

The Jesuit Retreat Center of Los Altos, a community of prayer, offers the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola to all. Through our sharing of the Exercises, rooted in the Word of God and in the Catholic tradition, the Spirit frees minds and hearts to mature in friendship with Christ, to find God in every aspect of experience, and to live Gospel values.

 

 

​

 

We are grateful for the gifts that come after the donors’

lifetime, bearing witness that the Retreat Center that they

supported and cherished does indeed change lives. 

Your legacy of support makes the Jesuit Retreat Center of

Los Altos stronger, sustainable and better equipped to reach future generations with our message to live by the Ignatian norm that calls us to find God in all things; to discover where God will best be served and where people will best be helped; to show love in deeds and not just in words.
