The Next Right Step — An Ignatian Discernment Workshop/Retreat

Decision making is an unavoidable part of our lives.

The closer one gets to graduation the more stressful some of these decision can seem. Is the next right step getting a job? Going to grad school? Volunteering? Religious life?

The Ignatian Discernment Workshop-Retreat is an opportunity for upperclassmen/women to explore what St. Ignatius of Loyola (the founder of the Jesuits) has taught us about discernment and decision making. Led by Fr. Paul Coelho, SJ, students will learn how to make decisions in a way that engages their entire person — mind, heart and soul, and gives you the tools to take life’s next right step.

This event will be held Sept. 29th, 9:30-5:00 in Harper 2067.

Contact Jeff Peak (jeffpeak@creighton.edu) for more information or to sign up.
