Gerard Manley Hopkins was both one of the greatest writers of the past two hundred years, and a deeply contemplative Jesuit priest. Join us as we experience his life and poetry as reflections of God's love and respect for every individual piece of creation. Just as Hopkins believed that every blade of grass had its own inscape, so retreatants will be invited to honor and enjoy the inscape of their own lives, through the twin gifts of Hopkins' poetry and Ignatian Spirituality.
