SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
Spiritual Direction is a ministry of holy listening where individuals meet with a Spiritual Director to deepen their relationship with God by exploring their prayer life and daily circumstances. It involves discovering what promotes or inhibits one's relationship with God and growing in self-awareness.

SPIRITUAL RETREATS
The purpose of a spiritual retreat is to provide a break from the noise and chaos of one's daily life in order to reflect, reconnect and find a greater sense of purpose. Whether during Advent or Lent, on campus or off-site, our goal is to offer a safe space where one can retreat and experience complete renewal while gaining a higher level of self-knowledge.

SCRIPTURE STUDIES
Scripture and Bible studies are foundational to deepening our relationship with God and growing in our understanding of His Word. Whether through a women’s group or a focused study on books like Acts of the Apostles, these gatherings invite us to listen to God’s voice, reflect on His promises, and support one another in faith. Studying Scripture in community helps us apply biblical truth to our lives and strengthens the bonds of fellowship within our parish.

BOOK STUDIES
Book studies are a valuable part of faith formation because they provide fresh perspectives and practical applications that complement and deepen our understanding of Scripture. By engaging with thoughtfully chosen texts — especially during seasons like Advent and Lent —we grow together as a parish in reflection, conversation, and discipleship. These studies help us connect the timeless truths of our faith with the realities of daily life in a relatable and accessible way.

PRAYER GROUPS
Prayer groups are a vital part of faith formation, offering a space for spiritual support, communal prayer, and deeper intimacy with the Lord. Groups like the Flame of Love Prayer Group and the Seven Sisters Apostolate help foster a spirit of intercession, unity, and trust in God’s presence and power. By gathering regularly in prayer, we not only grow in our own relationship with Christ, but also strengthen the spiritual foundation of our parish and wider Church.

SPIRITUAL PILGRIMAGES
Spiritual pilgrimages offer the faithful a unique opportunity to deepen their relationship with God by journeying to sacred places rich in Christian history and tradition. Whether walking in the footsteps of St. Paul through Greece, praying at holy sites in Ireland, or encountering the beauty of the faith in Italy, these pilgrimages provide both reflection and renewal. As a form of faith formation, they invite participants to step away from daily routines and enter into an experience of spiritual growth, community, and deeper understanding of our shared Catholic heritage.

NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL
The National Eucharistic Revival is a grassroots initiative led by the U.S. Catholic Church to renew devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Through worship, learning, and missionary outreach, the Revival invites individuals and communities to deepen their encounter with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. It serves as a powerful resource for faith formation—offering opportunities for prayer, catechesis, and reflection that strengthen both personal spirituality and communal identity as the Body of Christ.
