For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for our Lord Jesus Christ.
— St. Ignatius of Loyola

Twenty years ago Fr. Frank Reale, Provincial of the Missouri Province of the Society of Jesus, missioned Fr. A. James Blumeyer, SJ to Kansas City to begin the Ignatian Spirituality Center of Kansas City.

Today we celebrate 20 years of lay and Jesuit collaboration to bring the Spiritual Exercises to the greater Kansas City metro area. In gratitude, we gather to reflect, praise God and celebrate God’s goodness.
