Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to the Faber Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Marquette University!
Established in 2006, the Faber Center was created for the purpose of promoting Ignatian spirituality among faculty and staff. Additionally, the Faber Center serves as a resource for all in the community of Marquette who wish to explore and deepen their spiritual life and practice, articulate theological and religious beliefs and questions, discern personal and professional paths, and find sacred and holy meaning in their lives.

The mission of the Faber Center for Ignatian Spirituality is directed toward all faculty and staff to provide opportunities for them to cultivate their spiritual life and learn about the richness of Ignatian Spirituality and the spiritual journey. Our mission is rooted in the desire to support each faculty and staff’s distinctive search and relationship with the Holy. From a stance of deep listening, they are given the opportunity to discuss the joys and challenges of life, reflect upon where they are in their spiritual journey, integrate their spirituality in an academic setting, ponder any decisions they face, or explore life’s transcendent questions like identity, meaning, purpose, vocation, legacy, and the promotion of justice. This desire flows from our understanding of Ignatian Spirituality and the Spiritual Exercises, which call us to appreciate and be attentive to God’s movement found personally in each of us. In an ecumenical and interfaith manner, we accomplish this mission by (1) inviting faculty and staff to develop their spiritual life through the Spiritual Exercises, other retreats, faith-sharing groups, spiritual conversations, and times of prayer, and (2) sharing with them the wisdom of Ignatian Spirituality and the spiritual life through lectures, seminars, workshops, and book discussions. We work in collaboration with the Office of Mission & Ministry, Campus Ministry, and Manresa for Faculty to further our mission and the mission of Marquette University.
