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.
