The Ignatian Choir Project is a choral

performance tour that follows in the

footsteps of St. Ignatius of Loyola to

destinations in Europe where he lived

and worked during his lifetime.

The beginning of our journey takes us

to the Eternal City - Rome - where

Ignatius ultimately left this world in

1556. After concerts and visits to the

Vatican, Colosseum and other

attractions in and around Rome,

the group travels to Barcelona where

we have the opportunity to share our

music with the students at the Jesuit

high schools Sant Ignazi and Sant

Estanislau.

From Barcelona, the group will visit

chapel at Manresa that is built over the

“cave” where Ignatius composed what

was to become the Spiritual Exercises.

Leaving Manresa, we make our way to

the Basque region of Northern Spain,

our final destination, which is where

Ignatius’ journey began: the home of the

Loyola family in Azpeitia. We will give our

final performance and sing Mass at the

Loyola Basilica on Sunday morning.

We do not leave Basque country

without some down time on the clear

beaches of San Sebastian. And finally, in

Bilbao, the group has a farewell dinner

before returning home on Monday to

the United States.
