How the Center Made a Difference

AMIR HUSSAIN, Chair and Professor of Theological Studies
The SPIRITUAL EXERCISES have helped me to deepen my compassion for others by helping me to understand my relationship with God.
Sylvia Rincon, MA, Senior Administrative Coordinator, Campus Ministry
The CHALLENGE daily prayers and guided reflections helped deepen my relationship with God allowing me to see the many ways God has bestowed his grace and merciful love.
DR. ROBBIN D. CRABTREE, Dean, Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts
As I reflected on my adjustment to LMU and my daily work as Dean, Fr. Randy and the Center have been ever-ready resources for supporting my IGNATIAN LEADERSHIP praxis.
Eileen De Alva-Gonzalez, Communications Manager, MarComm
I have participated in a handful of CIS programs, and each experience enriched my spiritual journey through meaningful time in prayerful reflection.
ANDREA MIDDLETON, Senior Administrative Coordinator, BCLA
Share a meal, laughter...music. The LENTEN LUNCHEON is one of those events I look forward to which helps me grow spiritually and prepares me for the Lenten journey.
SEAN KENNEDY LLS '89, Executive Director, Juvenile Law and Policy
Serving on the CIS Board connects me with my Jesuit education and reminds me what is most important in life.
