"FATHER, this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."

 

Our work is dedicated to the spiritual formation of the laity. Our mission is to guide souls to an abundant life, which is life in Christ; so that through Him, they may have the freedom and courage to follow wherever He leads.

 

We envision a world where every person will know God and His Son Jesus Christ through personal, intimate, experiential encounter; through contemplative prayer, entering into a holy journey, living in Christ in the duties of daily life.

Classes

Spiritual formation in the way of the heart.

Knowledge is only power if it is used for its highest good. We have a lot of head knowledge, but the practical application in one’s life is the key to living completely from Him, with Him and in Him.

Retreats

In those days he departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.- Luke 6:12

If Christ Jesus needed retreats, how much more do we? Retreats pull us out of the world for a time, and into communion with Him.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IN IPSO:

As a Catholic Biblical School student, I thought my faith life had become as strong as possible. ….But what I have learned in just a few weeks of In Ipso classes with Father Chris Hellstrom has blown me away and left me yearning for more…

– KD

I can only thank God for this special ministry that In Ipso offers. I am no longer the same person that I was the first day that I walked into that retreat.

– Pam

Our world is in so desperate need of healing and these classes have given me the means for further healing in my own life and now the opportunity to invite healing to those around me.

– Ann

Father Armando was simply amazing. He speaks with the Power of God..... and helped me to understand that it is all about Him, not about me.
