A FEW WORDS
ABOUT US
The East Asian Pastoral Institute is a Jesuit–run residential pastoral institute for renewal, updating, sabbatical and leadership training, located in the Ateneo de Manila University campus. Every semester, EAPI houses men and women from different parts of the world – laity, religious and clergy – who live together and join the programs for personal renewal, for a spiritual pause and review of life, for growth and greater effectiveness in their ministries as pastoral ministers and leaders of communities.
The new EAPI logo features a compass symbolizing the pastoral leader’s need for constant discernment in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) World.

LIFE IN EAPI
Set in the Jesuit university campus that is a sprawling sanctuary of greenery within the bustling metropolis, EAPI residential programs consist of a series of week-long modules featuring staff and guest facilitators that promote learning with others in a safe, creative, and constructive environment. Daily liturgies, cultural masses, an 8-day silent retreat, regular spiritual accompaniment, community-building, sports and recreation facilities, an out-of-town trip, and a relaxed schedule enhance personal prayer, rest, reading, exercise, and renewal for mission.
