Non-silent Retreat for Women & Men
Throughout Israel's history, divine guidance typically came through the prophets, each sent by the Lord to speak to His people. This Bible-prayer day will focus on the prophets of Judea and of the Exile. Be sure to bring your Bible!
Fr. Joseph Fice, S.J., spent 25 years as a religious educator in Jesuit high schools in California and Arizona. He taught at Jesuit High School in Sacramento, Loyola High School in Los Angeles, and Brophy Preparatory School in Phoenix. His academic interests evolved from mathematics to a deep interest in scripture and ethics. After earning a B.S. in Mathematics from Loyola University of Los Angeles, he received an M.A. in Philosophy from Gonzaga University and an S.T.M. in Theology from the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley. A lecturer in Philosophy at Loyola University of Los Angeles from 1967 to 1969, his subsequent high school teaching focused on Scripture and Catholic Christianity.
Assisting
Brother Thomas Koller, S.J., first came to The Jesuit Retreat Center over 40 years ago while discerning his own vocation to religious life; so he comes full circle with this present asignment. Most recently Brother was stationed for 12 years at St. Ignatius College Prep in San Francisco, working in school administration, and moderating some student activities. Earlier he was assigned as part of the staff of Father General in Rome, where he assisted Father General at the American Assistancy desk. He also spent many years as manager at the now closed Novitiate Winery in Los Gatos where, for almost a century, the California Jesuits produced sacramental and commercial wines as a means of support for the young Jesuits in formation for California Province.
