I
nterculturality
is where it's at! Have you read the
Universal Apostolic Preferences
?
“Young people experience the tension between the drive toward cultural homogeneity and the emergence of an intercultural human society that respects and is enriched by diversity. The logic of the market economy leads to homogeneity, but young people aspire instead to diversity that corresponds to the exercise of true freedom and opens up creative spaces that contribute to the emergence of a humane, intercultural society.” (Universal Apostolic Preferences 2019)

The Ignatian Run
~Ariel Laguilles, Gonzaga College High School
|
|
|
|
On May 27th, I am attempting to be
the first person to run the entire 400 mile-long Camino Ignaciano route
. The route retraces St. Ignatius’s journey from his home in Loyola to the cave in Manresa, where he spent a year developing the Spiritual Exercises. With the support of
Varsity Tours
, I plan to run an average of
50 miles a day to complete the entire route in 8 days
.
I am a product of Jesuit education, an Ignatian educator, and a competitive ultrarunner. I see this experience as an opportunity to expand and blend these aspects of my life.
I approach this unique journey with joy and excitement -- welcoming the challenges, revelations, and moments of grace that it will surely bring
.

St. Paul's High School ventures onto the Camino Ignaciano
|
|
This July, a small group of students and faculty from
St Paul’s High School in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
, will be undertaking the
Ignatian Way Pilgrimage
in Spain from Loyola to Manresa, alongside their fellow Jesuit students and faculty from
Brophy Prep in Phoenix, Arizona
. This will mark the first year that a group from St Paul’s will participate. The cohort is eager to meet their brethren from Brophy (pictured below), visit the sacred sites connected to the life of Ignatius, and walk in his footsteps, under the direction of
P. Josep Lluís Iriberri S.J.
, director of the
Camino Ignaciano
. Members of the St. Paul’s contingent range in age from Grades 9 through 12.
There is hope that this pilgrimage will become an annual event for members of the St Paul’s community and invigorate the Jesuit identity of staff and students alike.
