Ignatian Formation for Adults

Faculty and Staff

All employees at Seattle Prep participate in our faculty/staff retreat, liturgical year prayer services, and are invited to attend optional spiritual events throughout the year. In their first years at Prep, new employees are placed in a cohort and attend programming that supports their work at Prep, increases their understanding of Ignatian spirituality, and fosters their own spiritual growth.

Adults in our Community

Parents, alumni, and friends of Prep are invited to attend variety of events throughout the year, including spiritual programs, masses, and prayer services.
