Following the Universal Apostolic Preference, "Showing the way to God through the spiritual Exercises and discernment", the faculty and staff of St. John's College were invited to the annual spiritual retreat at Jaguar Creek. Amongst God's grandeur of forest and river, the faculty and staff were led through a number of spiritual exercises to help them to reflect especially upon the importance of their roles in the education system. Faculty and staff reflected upon their journey with the youth and walking with the excluded. They were also led through a mass to focus and reflect on their importance within the universal apostolic preferences. All were asked to reflect upon the Ignatian spirituality and to continue to develop these traits within their classrooms or activities in the community. The day ended with a quiet reflection time where participants could reflect on the day's prayers and exercises. The spiritual retreat was led by Brother Dan Finucane, Father David Kiblinger, and Mrs. Molly Marin. We thank the faculty and staff as well as our spiritual leaders who are working to build a world where God is kept at the center of our visions and actions. Previous Next

  • Jesuit Education | SJCBZ

    JESUIT EDUCATION JESUIT EDUCATION Jesuit education is a call to human excellence, to the fullest possible development of all human qualities. It is a call to critical thinking and disciplined studies, a call to develop the whole person, head and heart, intellect and feelings.  Jesuit education systematically incorporates methods from a variety of sources which better contribute to the intellectual, social, moral, and religious formation of the whole person. In the underlying principle of Tantum Quantum, that which may work better is adopted and assessed while that which is proven ineffective is discarded.  Jesuit education presents academic subjects out of a human "centredness", with stress on uncovering and exploring the patterns, relationships, facts, questions, insights, conclusions, problems, solutions, and implications which a particular discipline brings to light about what it means to be a human being. THE IGNATIAN PEDAGOGICAL PARADIGM Jesuit education strives to give learners ongoing development of their imagination, feelings, conscience and intellect, and to encourage and help them recognize new experiences as opportunities to further growth. Learners see service to others as more self-fulfilling than personal success or prosperity. Jesuit education moves the learning experience beyond rote knowledge to the development of the more complex learning skills of understanding, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Learners write and speak about subject matter with stylistic excellence--Eloquentia Perfecta--and engage in public debate.
