Spiritual Direction Referral Service
Many priests, religious and laity seek spiritual directors who are prepared for this ministry. The Center for Spiritual Development has gathered a resource pool of qualified spiritual directors. If you would like to take advantage of this service, please contact the Center.
Ministering to Ministers
Those who minister to others, must also be nourished. The Center offers days or evenings of prayer for religious, team facilitation, goal setting, days or evenings of prayer for pastoral teams or people in similar ministries, days of prayer for individuals at the Center and spiritual direction.

A variety of books on spirituality and scripture are available. Books are sold at Center programs and courses. The store is open to the public and books not in stock can be ordered and mailed. Gift certificates are available.
Programs of Renewal for Parishes/Groups, Days or Evenings of Prayer & Study
are available for parishes and other groups. Some topics: various ways to pray, finding God in daily life, scripture, spirituality, midlife issues, caring for care-givers and others.
Spirituality Resources Personnel
The Center staff has invited men, women, religious, laity and clergy who have training and experience in spirituality to be listed as resource people for the Center. Several have done so, and we invite others to call the Center for an application form.
These resource people are available for days or evenings of prayer, individual spiritual direction, supervision for spiritual directors, facilitating Scripture study groups, faith sharing groups and prayer groups. Some are also available for the direction of people through the experience of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius in daily life (The Nineteenth Annotation Retreat). Others have expertise in bereavement counseling, parish missions and At-Home Retreats.
Tidings
The Center announces the various programs and activities held during the year and is issued periodically.
