The Committee on Ignatian Spirituality and Jesuit Identity is responsible for advising and assisting the Pastoral Associate for Ignatian Spirituality to coordinate, implement and evaluate the programs designed to introduce and support the practice of Ignatian spirituality in the parish. 

The Committee's Mission is:
To reflect the inner spirit of mindfulness, intentionality, and awareness that grows from Ignatian spirituality and infuses the Parish’s ministries with the persistent goal of serving God, the local church, and others, as well as and to make recommendations to Parish leadership and the Parish Staff on ways to strive towards this goal.

Responsibilities include:
a. To foster Ignatian spirituality and identity within Holy Trinity and educate, by communicating more to parishioners and staff about Ignatian principles, Jesuit traditions, and what it means to be a Jesuit parish;

b. To collaborate with members of the national and world-wide Jesuit community to learn from and become a resource for other Jesuit institutions and programs;

c. To promote the Spiritual Exercises as a more dominant feature and consistent hallmark of Ignatian spirituality at Holy Trinity;

d. To examine and reform social justice and community activities to be more closely and explicitly tied to Ignatian principles;

e. To report to the Parish Pastoral Council at regular intervals on how parish activities support the apostolic priorities of the Society of Jesus and mission plan of the Maryland Province.”

The Committee meets once a month on Wednesdays at 7:30 AM in the Upper Room of the Parish Center.  Meetings are open to all parishioners.
