Praying House Villa Manresa
Named in memory of a town in Cataluña, Spain, where Ignatius of Loyola developed the Spiritual Exercises, the Villa Manresa was founded in 1982 by the sixth principal of the institute, Jose Quezada Guadeloupe S.J. in order to serve as a retreat house, where the community of the institute could conduct their activities in reflection, spiritual exercises, retreats and other general courses. It houses a chapel, auditorium, classrooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchen, basic services and gardens. In each grade, students go to encounter god in different activities in their lives.
