Ignatian Formation

Sharing the Charism

We are blessed in Belize with a large, and growing, cadre of committed, passionate lay partners, who are hungry for Christ and for His mission. The future of the Ignatian charism in Belize will depend in large part on them.

"We offer Ignatian spirituality as a specific gift to animate the ministry of the laity. This apostolic spirituality respects the unique spirituality of the individual and adapts itself to present needs; it helps persons to discern their call and “in all things to love and serve the Divine Majesty.” We offer to laity the practical wisdom we have learned from more than four centuries of apostolic experience." (34th General Congregation, Decree 13, no. 7)

Above all, we offer them our gratitude and our friendship!
