Ministries:
Spiritual Direction
The Office of Faith Formation serves parishes, schools, and families across the Diocese by supporting lifelong growth in the Catholic faith. Grounded in the Church’s mission to make disciples, our department provides resources, training, and guidance for catechetical leaders, sacramental preparation, youth and adult formation, and ongoing spiritual development. We aim to form missionary disciples who joyfully live and share the Gospel in their communities.
What is Spiritual Direction?
Join Sr. Gloria Murillo, S.T.J as she explains the purpose and process of spiritual direction and how it can help you develop a richer and deeper prayer life.
Who Comes to Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual Direction is help given to one person by a trained director to assist that person in becoming aware of God’s presence in their life, and then guiding that person in growing a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.
For more information, please contact one of below trained and certified spiritual directors in our diocese.
