PROGRAMS IN SPIRITUALITY AND SERVICE
Ignacio Volunteer Programs
The Ignacio Volunteers are a series of international immersion programs for the Loyola University New Orleans community.
Goals
-
TO SERVE: Participants will work with those of the greatest need -- the impoverished & challenged, the disadvantaged young and the elderly.
-
TO LEARN: Participants will have an opportunity to explore the political, sociological, and economic issues that have created the enviornment and situation in which they will find themselves.
Participants in all service trips travel as one community. Participants are chosen a few months before the trip and meet regularly in advance of the actual travel. The trip is rooted in an Ignatian spiritual foundation of finding God in all things. and includes on-going spiritual reflection within the community and on the trip itself. Fundraising for the trip is done by the group and as individuals.
