The Ministry of
Spiritual Direction Program:
Fall 2019 at St. Michael's Church
"Spiritual Direction is, in reality, nothing more than a way of leading us to see and obey the real Director - The Holy Spirit" -
Thomas Merton
Beginning in September St. Michael's will partner with The Center for Spiritual Formation from Carlisle, PA to offer a two-year program on our campus in the Ministry of Spiritual Direction. Spiritual Direction is companionship given by one Christian to another which enables that person to listen for the direction of the Holy Spirit as a person opens his/her life to God's presence; to respond to God's guidance; to grow in intimacy with God; and to live out the beauty of the relationship.
The program is intended to assist those who participate in sharpening listening skills, bring clarity to areas of giftedness, and acquire the tools and practices essential to caring for souls in love.
- select "About Us"
- select "Spiritual Direction"
Or connect with Ashleigh Gonzalez in the Parish Office at
Applications due by September 1st in order to participate in this first year of the program.
