About Us
Creighton University’s Online Ministries endeavors to support and deepen individual and communal relationships with Jesus and animate the University’s Jesuit, Catholic mission through access to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Scripture reflections structured around the liturgical year, and myriad Ignatian prayer resources.
In 1998, when the worldwide web was just 8 years old, Online Ministries began. This site was the inspiration and labor of love of Fr. Andy Alexander, SJ, then vice president for mission who retired in spring 2025, and Maureen McCann Waldron, then director of collaborative ministries who retired in 2016. Today, the ministry is sustained by Creighton’s Division of Mission & Ministry and supported by dozens of Creighton University faculty, staff, Jesuits and retirees who serve as reflection writers.
We are blessed by and abundantly grateful for the global community who engages with this ministry. We pray it is a source of support and an avenue for grace in individuals’ and communities’ journeys with of faith and relationships with Christ.
Online Ignatian Retreat
A 34-Week Retreat for Everyday Life
Welcome to an experience of God’s Grace in the midst of our busy lives.
Be open and trust in a God who is not outdone in generosity.
We invite you to make a retreat designed to fit into the fullness of your day-to-day. Experience a relationship with God coming alive in the midst of everyday life. Come to know a freedom and peace too often out of reach in the modern world.
A simple guide each week places themes, reflections, questions and desires into the background of our busy lives. We learn to find greater focus and to let one week build upon another.
Begin any time, but if we begin the week of September 14, 2025, the retreat fits with the Liturgical Year.
