The Ignatian Year begins May 20, 2021! 
This year marks the 500-year anniversary of Ignatius’ wounding and spiritual conversion in Pamplona, Spain.  The  year will conclude on July 21, 2022, the anniversary of St. Ignatius passing into eternal life.
 

As part of the exploration of the life and legacy of St. Ignatius during this year Father Michael Bissex in the attached pastoral reflection, explores St. Ignatius’ conversion following the Battle of Pamplona.
