Ignatian Year
On May 20, 1521, a cannonball shattered the legs of St. Ignatius of Loyola during the Battle of Pamplona. During his lengthy recovery at his family castle, God began to stir his heart and begin his conversion. To commemorate this “cannonball moment,” Fr. General Arturo Sosa, S.J. has declared an Ignatian Year from May 20 2021 to July 31, 2022, his Feast Day.
On this page we will be offering prayers, videos, reading, and other information as we pray together in thanksgiving for the conversion of Ignatius, and is dedication to the Greater Glory of God.
