Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction has been part of the Christian tradition for centuries. Spiritual direction is the art of listening both to the person seeking spiritual direction and to God’s Spirit. It is carried out once a month in the context of a unique one-to-one trusting relationship in which a trained person guides and supports another person in the search for an ever closer union of love with God.
