The Office of Ignatian Spirituality (OIS) is an initiative of the USA East Province of the Society of Jesus committed to partnering with people and ministries to promote Ignatian spirituality for mission.

Our ministry operates from Maine to Georgia offering opportunities to experience the graces of the Spiritual Exercises, to gather Ignatian spiritual directors and practitioners, and to bring together seekers looking to find God through the wisdom of St. Ignatius Loyola. We seek to meet the needs of those in the Ignatian community and beyond by offering programs to those traditionally underserved -- including young adults and Latinos -- and by connecting Jesuits, lay collaborators, and seekers in the ministry of the Spiritual Exercises.
