Spiritual Direction Program 2013-2015

Coordinating Team: Sister Ann McGrew, OSU; Sister Elaine Burke, OSU; and Sister Marietta Wethington, OSU

The Spiritual Direction Training Program at Mount Saint Joseph began in 2004. More than 35 people from across the U.S. have completed the two-year program.Participants come together eight times for a weekly session beginning at noon Monday and ending at 1 p.m. Friday. This program prepares participants for the ministry of spiritual direction from a Catholic perspective and in the spirit of Saint Angela Merici. During each of the eight weeks, participants will enter into study, reflection, and prayer around a topic fundamental to the understanding and practice of spiritual direction. There will be daily opportunities for Eucharist, prayer, and reflection in an atmosphere of contemplation.
