Spiritual Direction

A person doesn't so much choose a spiritual path, but rather as he or she discovers the path that fits the best with personality, temperament and overall outlook on life. Sometimes, by virtue of attending a parish run by Paulists, Jesuits, Dominicans, Franciscans, Servites, Carmelites, Salesians or Redemptorists a person will become more closely united with that way. Other times, reading the lives of the saints, examining the way of life of the professed members of an order and good old-fashioned prayer, asking for discernment and guidance, will still be the best way to find a discipline and practice that helps build a person's faith and spiritual life. If you have found this page we can assume you are searching for a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God. We have a lived experience of the Catholic Faith but are ecumenical in our practice and outlook. Our strength lies in the catholic tradition. We would be pleased to journey with you to support you in your endeavour to enrich your relationship with God.
