I am very pleased to announce that on April 16, we celebrated a truly
historic and long awaited moment at our Jesuit Retreat House – the groundbreaking event for
our new addition and the renovation of our existing building. The above reading speaks well
to our journey of planning, dreaming and hoping since the turn of this century. With gratitude
for our 118 year legacy, we now seek to build this vision for our time, that we may better
serve more people with the gift of Ignatian spiritualty with which we have been so deeply
blessed.
We are very grateful for the generous support we have received towards our goal since
launching the silent phase of our capital campaign at the end of 2014. We will now move
forward with our public campaign and look forward to sharing more information in the
coming months. We need your prayers and contributions to fulfill and sustain this vision
for generations to come.
God be with you,

Youth Sports and Human Flourishing
Presented by Fr. Patrick Kelly SJ
Morning Program
Resources for Coaches, Athletic
Directors and Physical Educators
9:00 a.m. - Noon Cost: $25
Fr. Kelly will provide a historical and theological overview
of Catholic engagement with sports, including a discussion
of why sports were initially included in schools in the
western world. He will then discuss the “flow” experiences
many people report when playing a sport – of being fully in
the present moment, a loss of consciousness of oneself, a
sense of growth, a sense of being part of something larger
than themselves, and an altered sense of time. These
experiences can help us to
understand how youth sport
participation is related to human
flourishing and spiritual values.
Coaches and AD’s from
Catholic, public and private
schools are welcome.
Being in the Zone in Sports and in Life
Presented by Fr. Patrick Kelly SJ
Evening Program
For Team Members and Coaches
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Cost: $20 (Call for team discount rate)
Many young people who have played sports have had the
experience of “being in the zone,” when they are fully
concentrated, not thinking about themselves, aware of their
connection with teammates and when time seems to fly by.
In this talk, Fr. Kelly will discuss the human significance of
such experiences and their relevance for the spiritual lives
of young people and the choices they will make in life.
Team members and coaches from all schools are welcome.
Fr. Patrick Kelly is a Jesuit priest of the Midwest Province
and associate professor of theology and religious studies at
Seattle University. A former all-conference college football
player, he is the author of Catholic Perspectives on Sports: From

Since 1898, the grounds of Jesuit Retreat House have provided spiritual peace for people looking to deepen their
relationship with God. Now, perhaps more than ever, the sacred space of JRH is a vital gift to Northeast Ohio.
Contemporary men and women make silent retreats for various reasons. Some are searching for a deeper way of
knowing God that is personal and real. Others use this time to rest in the creative heart of God, to imagine new
possibilities, or to sit with gratitude for God’s magnificent work. Whatever your reason for making a retreat,
sacred silence is a gift to the soul. Here, you will experience silence on 57 acres of woods and meadows,
complete with outdoor shrines and stations of the cross. The retreat house provides a home away from home
with three chapels, a library, and home-cooked meals. As a companion on your journey, your spiritual director
will offer guidance based on Ignatian Spirituality. We invite you to open yourself to the inspiration of a retreat!
