Who are the prayer companions?
Prayer companions are persons who previously participated in The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola (through Bridges or some other venue), and in response to a discerned call to serve as a prayer companion, have undergone formation (training) either through Bridges or some other means. Bridges has its own initial formation program (Bridges II followed by Prayer Companions) as well as ongoing formation opportunities. Some of the prayer companions are priests and a fair number are vowed religious sisters, while most are lay persons.
