SSI Examen Research

Sacred Story Institute’s primary goal is to promote Third Millennium Evangelization. It does this chiefly by helping Catholics from all walks of life find hope, healing and reconciliation in Christ who comes into our lives as real presence. Utilizing the Ignatian SSI Examen materials developed by Fr. Bill Watson, S.J. distinctive, yearlong prayer courses will be developed by researching specific age, culture, background and needs groups in the Catholic community as they pray the SSI Examen over a fifty two week period.

A $100,000 gift will enable SSI to research each specific group listed below that will include:

  • Forming a research pool of 200-400 research participants for a 52-week study
  • Hire researchers to analyze the data for the participant group
  • Write and publish a research report based on the participant group’s feedback for SSI Publications
  • Develop a unique 52-week SSI Examen course based on the participant group’s responses and feedback harmonious with Catholic Faith and Tradition
  • Upload a unique SSI Examen course to sacredstory.us to be used, free of charge, for personal or communal faith development of each targeted group
  • Update the materials for a 5-year period by doing spot-research with the same participant group to understand long-term impact of the SSI Examen with each target group
