Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction invites one to listen reflectively to that which is deeper than words. It is a process of helping you 'notice' how God is present in your life. One responds to this by hearing and trusting one's own inner wisdom, the place where the divine is with you.

Interested in Spiritual direction on a regular basis?

Contact Sr. Gisella at the Parish Office 9763 7302.
