Ignatian Volunteer Corps We believe that senior men and women's life experience, wisdom, and skills can transform the world. The need is great, and we’re here to respond! Join Us!

The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) provides men and
women, most age 50 or better, opportunities to serve
others and to transform lives. IVC matches the talents
and skills of experienced adults with the greatest social
needs of our time. Volunteers serve in 16 metropolitan
regions across the country. IVC works in partnership with hundreds of community
partner organizations. These nonprofit organizations
provide Ignatian Volunteers with substantive work to
serve individuals and families seeking to overcome
the challenges of poverty. And hundreds of community
organizations are on waiting lists to get an Ignatian
Volunteer. IVC members are strengthened in their faith by IVC’s
unique spiritual reflection program rooted in the Jesuit
tradition of Ignatian spirituality. By contributing leadership skills and life experience into
service, IVC volunteers improve their communities and
create a more just society. www.ivcusa.org

Today, the global Ignatian family unites to celebrate the feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus.

Ignatius’s story didn't begin with grand visions of a religious order, but with a shattered leg on a battlefield in Pamplona. In his long months of recovery, trading books of worldly chivalry for the lives of Christ and the saints, he discovered the subtle art of discernment: noticing where deep, lasting joy truly lives.

Wherever you are today, take a quiet moment to pray the Examen, reflect on your journey, and ask where God is inviting you to step into greater freedom and service.

Happy Feast!
