Spiritual direction is a discipline through which a person explores and deepens his relationship with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit during a confidential ongoing conversation with another disciple of Jesus. To become a Spiritual Director one undertakes the study of direction for a period of three years after which he/she is certified as a Spiritual Director. I began the journey to become a Spiritual director in 2017 and became fully certified in June of 2020. I look forward to serving the parish of Sacred Heart as a certified Spiritual Director to help others develop a closer relationship with God and to better discern how the Holy Spirit is leading in their life.
