May 20, 2021, marked the 500th anniversary of St. Ignatius of Loyola's conversion from nobleman and soldier to pilgrim and spiritual director when he was struck by a cannonball in Pamplona. To commemorate this, the Society of Jesus is celebrating an Ignatian Year in which we are all invited to participate.

The Year which began in May, will continue through July of 2022 and conclude on St. Ignatius' feast day.

The heart of Ignatian Spirituality reminds us to find God in all things. And for the Ignatian Year, the Society of Jesus encourages us to ask for the grace to see all things new in Christ. How can we see the moments, the encounters, and the people in our day to day lives in a new way, with the eyes of Christ?
