As followers of Christ, we have a duty to love and practice our faith in our everyday lives. With this duty, comes the responsibility to live in Christian Community, to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ, and to share the good news of the Gospel. Where does Spiritual Direction fit into this framework? What is the basic purpose of Spiritual Direction, and what should we be looking for in spiriutal direction?
Come to our Undergraduate Formation Session on Spiritual Direction, as Dr. Gresham and his wife, Mary Jane, present on this important aspect of Christianity.
A continental breakfast will be served at 8:30am, and the presentation will begin at 9:00am.
Students in the Basic Diploma of Catholic Theology, Basic Diploma in Music Ministry, Associate of Arts (A.A.M.), or Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) in Pastoral Theology are required to attend all three sessions at least once during the matriculation of their program.
This event is open to enrolled lay students.
