SPIRITUAL ACCOMPANIMENT (FAITH SUPPORT)
Spiritual exploration and faith development are personal and at the same time communal. Our faith grows within a faith community. Within various faith traditions, a community contributes to one’s faith maturation (even hermits often live within some kind of community, even if a small and dispersed one). Within that context, someone will emerge who provides you with spiritual accompaniment: pastors, staff within your community, accompanists, faith mentors, spiritual directors, soul friends, trusted friends, and the like.
Spiritual accompaniment is a relationship in which individual(s) help facilitate another’s exploration and continued growth (maturity) in your faith journey. Read more here and connect with our accompaniment resources.
Our leader is a trained faith educator and liturgist who also journeys with people at Catholic parishes. In addition to several years of employment at Catholic parishes, she is currently supplementing her existing faith training (including a certificate in Pastoral Accompaniment from the Catechetical Institute at Franciscan University Steubenville) with a Master’s in Theological Studies (MTS, 2025-2027) at Saint Martin’s University.
God is love. God loves you!
