Program In Spiritual Accompaniment And Giving Spiritual Exercises for the 2024–2025 academic year officially commenced on September 4, 2024, bringing together 19 participants from dioceses across Vietnam, from North to South. The class was a diverse gathering of priests and religious men and women, each contributing a unique richness of vocation and faith journey.
Over the course of more than seven months, participants were not only equipped with foundational and in-depth knowledge of Spiritual Accompaniment And The Giving Of The Spiritual Exercises, but were also invited to open themselves to deeper self-awareness and new relationships. These connections, built on mutual listening and sharing, transcended regional and cultural differences, enriching each participant’s inner transformation and spiritual journey.
What made the program truly special was its family-like atmosphere—where everyone lived in harmony, love, and mutual support. The classroom became more than a space for learning; it was a nurturing environment for friendship, marked by lively group activities, joyful picnics, and cherished memories.
On Monday, April 7, 2025, the Center for Ignatian Spirituality joyfully held the program’s closing ceremony. The event was graced by the presence of Bishop Dominic Nguyễn Tuấn Anh, Auxiliary Bishop of Xuân Lộc Diocese, religious superiors of various congregations, current students, and alumni.
We extend our heartfelt wishes to all the participants as they return to their missions, bearing spiritual fruit and deep joy. May the bonds formed throughout this journey continue to grow and strengthen, so that this community may always remain a source of mutual support in spiritual life and service.
