On the occasion of the celebration of the Ignatian Year, the Ignatian Family Day was held on Saturday, 21th august 2021. This event was a friendly gathering of members of the Society of Jesus, the Sisters of Congregatio Jesu and all Ignatian communities from all over Slovakia. 

In the picturesque surroundings of the Trlenska Valley near Ružomberok, the meeting began with a Holy Mass at the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, celebrated by Father Provincial Jozef Šofranko SJ, who in his homily pointed out the diversity that is the enrichment of life and drew on the example of Ignatius and his first companions.

The Mass was followed by a presentation of the various communities living Ignatian spirituality in Slovakia, their work and current activities, moderated by P. Jakub Garčár SJ. In addition to the Jesuits and the Sisters of Congregatio Jesu, these communities include the CVX Community of Christian Life, the community of MAGIS and others. 

The program also included sharing in groups, which was a mutual enrichment of how the person of St. Ignatius and his unique spirituality influences our daily lives. 

Pleasant conversations continued over a good meal, looking for the beautiful and precious things that unite us. 

In addition, it was possible to buy T-shirts with the logo and motto of the Ignatian Year, Ignatian honey or coffee as a souvenir. The whole meeting ended with a common adoration, during which everyone prayed the Ignatian Year Prayer.
