What Is Spiritual Direction?

   Spiritual Direction is a long-standing practice in which individuals who are struggling with serious spiritual issues and others who wish to engage in a more intentional and regular practice of spiritual growth meet regularly with a professionally trained Spiritual Director or Spiritual Guide.  Spiritual Directors may be ordained persons such as pastors, or lay people who have been trained for personal spiritual direction.

Usually spiritual direction takes place on a personal, one-to-one basis.  However, the Catholic Parishes in Waterloo provide an opportunity for regular spiritual discernment in the context of a small faith-sharing group called Faithful Companions.
