Bellarmine Preparatory School

Students / Campus Ministry / Adult Formation


Adult Formation

Students are not the only participants on a journey of faith -- Bellarmine faculty, staff, and administration are also growing in spirituality. A desire to hear and answer Christ's challenge is evident in the many programs Campus Ministry offers Bellarmine employees. Faculty, staff, and administration deepen their faith through two retreats each school year, and through faculty-led prayer and reflection at 7:30 a.m. twice monthly.

New faculty also engage in two half-day retreats designed to provide orientation to the Ignatian spirituality upon which Bellarmine, as a Jesuit institution, is based.

Adult Formation is vital to ensure that Bellarmine maintains its identity as a Jesuit institution. To educate students according to the Ignatian charism, faculty, staff, and administration must embody that charism themselves -- something possible only through repeated experience of Ignatian forms of prayer. The programs of Adult Formation seek to provide Bellarmine employees with opportunities for such prayer experiences, and the time to reflect on the gifts those experiences can offer our work and, ultimately, our students.
