From the Paper:

"Spirituality is the tie to the religious portions and beliefs of the JVC. By having the volunteers work closely with local churches it allows them to spread God's word on a first-hand basis with those who are in need. By providing their respective communities with opportunities for religious retreats and getaways fosters a spirit and a sense of togetherness in each community. "Ignatian spirituality is an apostolic spirituality, one of service to the Church and to the world."(Jesuit Volunteer Corps [JVC], 2005)"
