Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction helps us listen contemplatively to God’s movement in our lives.

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Direction is a formal one-on-one relationship between a Spiritual director and a person that provides an opportunity to  pay attention and respond to God’s communication

  • to grow in intimacy with God, 
  • to discern the work of the Lord in your life, and
  • to experience the blessings of this relationship with God.

How does it work?

One usually meets with their spiritual director once a month for about 45 minutes to an hour. As with all professionals, the 24 hour notice is required for rescheduling or cancellation. 

What is required?

Those seeking direction must have made at least one silent retreat based on the Spiritual Exercises prior to beginning spiritual direction.

What does it cost?

For working with a professional spiritual director, there is stipend requested.
For working with a qualified intern under the supervision of a professional director, there is no fee.
