"As I have directed the 36-day program in the
Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, I have become
captivated in an ever deeper way by the love of
Christ. Sitting where I sit, you can watch Christ love a person
completely, as only the Creator and Lord can do. To see that,
to watch Christ's love, is the joy of this work. This is the
experience of God that we wish to facilitate at The Jesuit
Retreat Center— to all who come, under whatever auspices."
Robert Fabing, S.J., Spiritual Director
Fr. Bob has been on staff at The Jesuit Retreat Center for
more than 20 years. In addition to leading the 36-day Spiritual
Exercises program each summer, Fr. Bob has given many weekend
retreats, often focusing on the subjects of the books he has
authored and with the liturgical music he has composed and
recorded. Central to his publishings and retreat work are
the Eucharist and the spirituality of daily life.
Fr. Bob is a licensed counselor and director/founder of the
Jesuit Institute for Family Life, a marriage, family and child
counseling center on The Jesuit Retreat Center campus. Fr.
Bob is responsible for having started nearly 30 such centers
in locales from San Diego to Portland.
