What happens when we stop hiding from God?

For Kelli Martin, The Ignatian Way became an invitation to bring her whole self into prayer — joys, struggles, desires, questions, and all.

Through Ignatian spirituality and preaching formation, participants are invited to deepen their relationship with God while growing in authenticity, discernment, and accompaniment.

Kelli Martin is a book editor and lay preacher whose reflection on prayer and belovedness reminds us that God meets us not through perfection, but through honesty and openness of heart.

Applications are now open for:

1.) Ignatian Way Preachers
2.) Ignatian Way Spiritual Companions

Apply by July 1

Thank you to all who took part in South Sound Ignatian Service Day, this past weekend. Thank you for showing up, serving generously, and helping bring this day to life.

Together, we served at L’Arche Tahoma Hope Farm & Gardens and St. Leo Food Connection, tending the land, accompanying one another, and supporting our neighbors with care and dignity.

We then gathered at Bellarmine Preparatory School for Mass and group reflection—pausing to notice the graces of the day and give thanks for the ways God was present in our shared service.

We are deeply grateful to our partners and co-sponsors—Bellarmine Preparatory School, St. Leo / St. Charles Borromeo Parish Family, L’Arche, and all who helped organize and lead this day. Your collaboration made this community experience possible.

Thank you for living out the call to be people for others.
