Meet Our Team
Our work would not be possible without the service and support of our fantastic volunteers and the Jesuit Novices of the Jesuit Novitiate of the Three Companions of the Society of Jesus. They receive training on Ignatian spirituality and help lead JRJI retreats facilitated in California state prisons or local communities.
