Ministries:
Spiritual Direction
The Ministry of Spiritual Direction offers guidance for those seeking to deepen their relationship with God through prayer and reflection. Trained spiritual directors accompany individuals on their faith journey, helping them recognize the presence and movement of the Holy Spirit in daily life. This ministry fosters interior growth, discernment, and a closer union with Christ.
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 the trained and certified spiritual directors in our diocese.
