ISP Rochester
The newest collaborative ministry of the Sisters of Saint Joseph addresses a crucial need—engaging spirituality as a path to help people in recovery. The SSJs have partnered with the Ignatian Spirituality Project (ISP), a Chicago-based program founded over 25 years ago that serves individuals recovering from addiction and homelessness. Grounded in the belief that spirituality plays a critical role in their journey, ISP gives individuals a sense of belonging, purpose, hope, strength, and connection to something greater than themselves.
The ISP Rochester team is comprised of Sisters and lay men and women who lead bi-weekly spiritual reflection groups of individuals who are currently in recovery. ISP Rochester is grateful to work with Freedom House, Liberty Manor, Nielson House, and the Notre Dame Retreat House where they held their first ISP retreat in April of 20216.
