Mission Statement

The mission of the Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House is to cooperate with the Church in Chicago and the Midwest in fostering the spiritual development of Catholics and fellow Christians in the area. As its primary ministry Bellarmine offers weekend retreats based on Ignatian Spirituality; it also offers other programs tailored to the changing needs in today’s Church. Jesuit and non-Jesuit colleagues collaborate in the planning and execution of all of Bellarmine’s retreats and other programs. As an expression of its ecumenism and civic fellowship, Bellarmine’s facilities at times are open to other religious and civic groups.
