It's easier than you think and is something you will more than likely enjoy. The only time you will be talking is when you go see the Priests. The general confession alone would make it worthwhile. He said that if nothing else Our Lord would be happy with the effort we put into it. He said the devil hates the Ignation exercises and will do anything to keep you from going. Then Father called and talked to me about it and said this was a common phenomenon.

My best friend was going through the same thing. The night before it was time I had decided not to go. The closer the time came to go the more nervous I felt. They were finally having one for women in St Mary's and I got up the gumption to sign up. Like Michael Wilson said, it was like a spiritual bomb had gone off in their lives. I knew quite a few women who had gone and came back changed in profound ways. I went on my first retreat out of curiosity more than anything else. I recommend them to anybody who would like to see their spiritual life improve or that is thinking of what they want to do with their lives seeing things from the view of their eternal salvation is very helpful. I was a little disappointed with my second and third retreats, as I expected them to have the same impact on me as the first one but that was my unrealistic outlook. During the retreat, I even seriously considered entering the seminary which I eventually did even though I realized immediately that it wasn't for me yet the spiritual effects of that first retreat are still with me after all these (30) years. But the meditations of the Excercises along with the conferences and general Confession, made me realize how rather lukewarm and routine the practice of my faith had become. I can't speak to ordinations or raw numbers, but anecdotally, I can say that the SSPX is not dwindling.Didn't we have a thread like this before? My experience for the first Ignatian retreat was that it hit me like a spiritual bomb! I have always been a practicing Catholic, and maybe could have been termed a "devout" Catholic. My understanding is that the FSSP is under diocesan jurisdiction, so when the Bishops closed down the churches, they must have had to comply, right? Not so with the SSPX, as they are not under diocesan jurisdiction. God has truly used this time to separate the wheat from the chaff in our parish, and now it's flourishing. So much less gossip, backbiting, and endless drama, and our priests have been such an amazing blessing. It's fantastic, and the "vibe" in the parish is so much better than before the 2015 exodus. We're back to our normal 2 Sunday masses, and new people are still coming. People were starving for the Sacraments, and even more, starving for reverence and Tradition, and it took the closing of their NO parishes to push them to look elsewhere. During that time, we had a huge influx of families and new parishioners. When covid hit and the diocesan parishes closed their doors and stopped administering the Sacraments, our parish went from 2 Sunday masses to 6 to deal with the limited capacity mandated by the state.

It really struck a blow to our parish and school. We had a falling out in our parish (Ridgefield, CT) about 5-6 years ago when a priest left the Society and took about a third to a half of the parish and school with him. I can only speak to what has happened in our parish over the past year-and-a-half, which is that it has grown significantly.
