July 31St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556) founded the Society of Jesus, the Roman Catholic religious order whose members are known as Jesuits.

St. Ignatius is the patron saint of retreats and those who attend retreats.
The Feast of St. Ignatius is celebrated by Jesuits everywhere, but particularly in the Basque region of Spain where he was born.

Every five years (2000, 2005, etc.) Boise's Basque Organization holds Jaialdi ("Big Festival"), the International Basque Cultural Festival, which features Basque music, dancing, food, sports, and more.
