Spiritual Direction Interest
Bernadette Rudolph, Maria DiBello, RSM, Mary Trainer, RSM and Margie Winters
Open Dates
Is this all there is? What does it all mean? How do I draw closer to God?
Individuals who are trying to make sense of a life experience or yearn for a deeper relationship with God may seek the assistance of a spiritual director. The work of the spiritual director is not advice-giving or problem-solving. It is helping people take time to reflect and see God working in their lives. Spiritual direction is sacred, safe and confidential. Our spiritual directors offer gentle encouragement to open fully to God’s loving presence and to discern the action of the Spirit around and in you.
Day and evening hours are offered. You may choose to meet in person onsite or via Zoom or FaceTime.
Cranaleith is welcoming to all people. Spiritual direction is offered on a sliding fee scale, $40-$65.
