“As she has never failed to do, again today the Church continues to recommend the practice of spiritual direction not only to all those who wish to follow the Lord up close, but to every Christian who wishes to live responsibly his baptism, that is, the new life in Christ.”

Pope Benedict XVI

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction is not pastoral counseling or confession, rather it is a helping relationship structured around the Gospel that allows the individual to grow in sanctity. Catholic men and women of all ages who are interested in weekly or bi-weekly spiritual direction, please contact us:
