Ignatius Jesuit Centre

The Ignatius Jesuit Centre spans over 600 acres, featuring multiple buildings dedicated to spiritual practices, community engagement, and environmental conservation programs.

Established in 1913 as St. Stanislaus Novitiate, the centre underwent significant changes after a 1954 fire, leading to extensive renovations and its renaming to Ignatius College.

Loyola House at the centre has hosted over 60,000 visitors since 1964, offering spiritual retreats and guidance based on Ignatian principles to people of various faiths.

The facility includes conference spaces, meeting rooms, and garden plots available for rent, while also maintaining an organic farm that provides produce to local residents.

The property houses the Ignatius Old-Growth Forest, a 500-year ecological project designed to restore and protect native forest ecosystems through conservation efforts.
