Ignatius Jesuit Centre

The Ignatius Jesuit Centre, located in Guelph, Ontario, is a historic site that has evolved from its origins as a Jesuit novitiate established in 1913 to a multifunctional retreat and office center today. The complex includes the Loyola House Jesuit Retreat and Training Centre, which offers spiritual retreats and training programs. The site is notable for its involvement in the Guelph Raid of 1918, a political scandal linked to conscription during World War I. Visitors can explore the beautiful grounds, which also feature ecological projects like organic farming and beekeeping, making it a unique destination for both tourists and researchers interested in Jesuit history and environmental initiatives.
