Spiritual Companionship Program

Co-sponsored by John XXIII Retreat Center and Lindenwood Retreat and Conference Center

August 2013 - February 2015

Are you being called to be a Spiritual Companion? Have others shared intimately with you about their spiritual life?

Or has someone shared with you because you listen reflectively?

If so, you might be called to the ministry of Spiritual Companionship. It’s a long tradition that has been available to people serious about their spiritual journey.

It is known by various names: spiritual direction, spiritual guidance, or spiritual companionship.
