Ignatian Spirituality at Work: The Tugboat Operator

Michael Matulewicz is a tugboat operator in the New York harbor. It’s a job that demands long hours, technical expertise and the ability to find God in all things. That’s right: Mike is a student of Ignatian spirituality, a graduate of St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia and of the Contemplative Leaders in Action program. He strives to be a contemplative in action, whether on land or on sea. This is his story.
