Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction encourages you to explore a closer relationship with God. In the midst of a busy life, many people find it difficult to notice God's action in their daily affairs. Yet, at the deepest level, all of us long for a more conscious experience of God's presence and love.

A Spiritual Director is a trained certified guide or companion who encourages directees to explore a closer relationship with God, to find meaning beyond the moment, and to discover their true selves.

The gifts of Spiritual Direction are:

  • Identify and trust your own experiences of God.

  • Integrate spirituality into your daily life.

  • Discern and make difficult choices.

  • Share struggles, losses or disappointments.

  • Find encouragement and affirmation.

  • Grow in relation with God, self, others and creation.
