Naming the Real

Becky is an Ignatian trained spiritual director passionate about inviting people closer to Christ. She accompanies people as they navigate deep waters of their faith lives through spiritual direction, writing, retreats, and as founder of Ignatian Ministries, a home of deep-water accompaniment. She is author of two books: The Inner Chapel (Loyola Press, April 2020) and Busy Lives and Restless Souls (Loyola Press, March 2017).

Becky currently lives in Baton Rouge, LA, where she accompanies others in monthly spiritual direction and through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Becky’s heart for accompaniment began over twenty years ago through retreat ministry. She invites people deeper in their walk with Christ by offering retreats and days of reflections rooted in the Spiritual Exercises. She continues to train others in the art of guiding Ignatian prayer and retreat facilitation. She is part of the Archdiocese of New Orleans Spirituality Center teaching staff where she trains spiritual directors in the Ignatian tradition. She also works with individuals and groups to teach the art of accompaniment and discernment.

Becky’s latest passion and mission is founding Ignatian Ministries, a home of deep water accompaniment. This new ministry is a spiritual gathering place for people longing for more, for those thrust into the deep end by life, and for those looking for a community to continue supporting their intimacy with Christ. Ignatian Ministries offers retreats, prayer resources, and guided audio prayer for a growing international community.
