Spiritual Direction Ministry
Who We Are & What We Do
We are a compassionate team of trained spiritual directors at St. Ann’s Parish, dedicated to guiding parishioners on their spiritual journeys. Our team consists of three parishioners certified in Spiritual Direction, each offering their unique approach to fostering spiritual growth. As volunteers, we provide one-on-one spiritual direction, engaging in meaningful conversations that help individuals discern God’s presence in their daily lives. Through prayer, reflection, and attentive listening, we offer a sacred space for personal growth, transformation, and a deeper connection with God. Our goal is to accompany each person on their faith journey, helping them become more self-aware and responsive to the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
Why We Exist
The Spiritual Direction ministry at St. Ann’s exists to facilitate a deepening connection between our parish community and the divine. Recognizing that everyone’s spiritual path is unique, we strive to meet you wherever you are in your faith journey. We believe in the transformative power of personal reflection and discernment in strengthening one’s relationship with God.
Who We Serve
We serve the adult members (18 years and older) of St. Ann’s Parish and any individuals seeking to enrich their spiritual life. Those going through transitions, discerning important life decisions, experiencing loss, questioning or doubting their faith, or simply wishing for a more profound sense of connection with God will find solace and guidance in our ministry
Volunteer Opportunities
We are always open to welcoming new trained spiritual directors into our ministry. Volunteers who wish to serve in this role must be certified in Spiritual Direction and compliant with the background clearance requirements set by the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
Special Requirements
While there are no special prerequisites to participate in spiritual direction, to we ask that those seeking to join our ministry come with an open heart and a willingness to share their spiritual experiences. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of spiritual direction; therefore, directees must agree to respect and uphold this practice to ensure a safe and trusting environment for all participants. All Spiritual Directors must comply with the background clearance requirements set by the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
