Team Ministries

Spiritual Direction is an opportunity to ‘come as you are’ to speak confidentially with a spiritual director who accompanies you on your journey, affirming and encouraging you in your relationship with God and all of creation.

Loretta Chafe RSM, Lucy Bethel SP and Dolores Hall, have many years of experience in spiritual direction, formation and retreat work. They minister as spiritual directors during retreats and each sees clients for spiritual direction on a regular basis. They may be open to accepting new directees. Call the Centre with your request.
