Summer Retreat of the Taranto and San Giorgio Ionico Communities

On Saturday, September 7, 2024, the end-of-summer retreat was held at Casa San Paolo in Martina Franca (TA), a wonderful opportunity to come together and restart after the summer break. This is how Gigi and Patrizia, the respective leaders of the Taranto and San Giorgio Ionico communities, envisioned it. The chosen theme: Holiness in the Family, a focus on "Sanctifying oneself to Sanctify others," which was a central topic of the recent Spiritual Exercises in San Giovanni Rotondo.

Spiritual Exercises August 2024

Walking and running are bodily exercises, whereas spiritual exercises are called “the ways of disposing the soul to rid itself of all disordered affections and, once eliminated, to seek and find the divine will” in one's life for the salvation of the soul. So wrote St. Ignatius of Loyola and this is precisely what happened from August 21-25 during the spiritual exercises of the Servants of Suffering Associates held at St. John Rotondo.
