Contact Chris Knoth at christopher.knoth@bc.edu with any questions about the Examen.
Service Opportunities
Campion Center Visitors
The Ignatian Society sponsors this program, an afternoon for conversation and fellowship at Campion Health Center. Campion Center is the retirement home and infirmary for the Society of Jesus located in Weston, Massachusetts. The members of the Jesuit Community living at Campion are always very grateful to see students from Boston College. Please join us for a visit with these great Jesuits who have dedicated their lives to the greater honor and glory of God. Your presence inspires them and they in turn are a source of great inspiration for us.
Contact Andrew at baslera@bc.edu with any questions regarding service projects.
Social Activities
The Ignatian Society's social programs seek to strengthen the bond between two great communities here at Boston College: the undergraduate students and the Jesuits. All BC students are welcome to participate in any and all events. Additionally, each Jesuit high school at Boston College has a representative in the Ignatian Society who keeps in contact with alumni. For a full list of representatives, click here.
