Companions in Ignatian Service and Spirituality, The Companions, through a program of prayer and Ignatian spirituality, enriches the experience of committed individuals, fifty and older, involved in community service with the poor, marginalized and socially vulnerable. In addition to its partnership with the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education, the program has the endorsement of the Social Ministries Office of the California Province of the Society of Jesus. The Companions is also affiliated with Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County and the Diocese of San Jose's Institute for Leadership in Ministry.
The Program
Companions in Ignatian Service and Spirituality is minimally, a one year program -- with the option of continuing beyond -- focusing on the integration and deepening of prayer and service.
As such, each companion, at every level of formation, commits to:
- consistent weekly service to the poor and marginalized of the community;
- a commitment to daily prayer and devotion, periods of retreat, and monthly meetings with the Companions community.
