Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction helps a person place their entire life under the direction of the Holy Spirit. This means guiding people to be open to listening to His provocations, suggestions and invitations. The task of the spiritual director is to listen, encourage, and pray for those desiring to grow in intimacy with God.
In order to properly complete spiritual direction, one must be willing to work towards:
Consistent daily prayer
Complete openness
Regular meetings (usually monthly)
If one of these prerequisites is missing, there is still spiritual help available. However, it would not truly be considered spiritual direction, but perhaps more like a form of spiritual mentoring, coaching or friendship. If you are interested in spiritual direction, please inquire by reaching out to one of our spiritual directors listed below.
Spiritual Mentorship
People seeking spiritual mentoring are looking for a coach, supporter, and encourager who will walk alongside them to help develop particular aspects of their spiritual life. People looking for a mentor usually know in what areas they need help, whether it be learning how to pray, accepting Church teaching, understanding how faith influences their daily lives, etc. Mentorship requires a level of openness and commitment to be determined by both the mentor and student. If you are interested in spiritual mentorship, please e-mail one of the staff members below.
