Days of Prayer/Reflection

Campion Renewal Center is a ministry of the New England Province of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Our primary purpose is to enhance the lives of men and women of faith through a wide range of programs including retreats, days of prayer, spiritual direction, and The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Campion is also a spacious conference facility available to non-profit organizations and programs consistent with our identity and mission.

Among the Center's goals are to help people discover and enter into closer union with the God who labors in love for the good for all, to foster a deep personal love for Jesus Christ, to help facilitate collaboration with laity and clergy for the benefit of the Church, and to make our resources available to those in need and to men and women of other faith traditions.

NEW and AVAILABLE in our bookstore: Fr. William A. Barry's latest book:

A Friendship Like No Other, Experiencing God's Amazing Embrace

Throughout A Friendship Like No Other, renowned spiritual director William A. Barry, SJ, explores the premise that God wants to relate to us as a close friend. Barry has contemplated this idea - radical for many Christians - throughout his lifetime, and he explains that it actually traces back to the "developing revelation contained in the Bible." A Friendship Like No Other offers three well-supported and practical sections: prayerful exercises to help lead you to the conviction that God wants your friendship; a close look at objections to this idea; and reflections on experiencing the presence of God and discerning those experiences. Brief, personal meditations are woven throughout. Grounded in biblical tradition and with a clear focus on Ignatian spirituality, this book offers a fresh, heart-changing approach to living joyfully in the freedom of the divine embrace.
