Archdiocesan Spirituality Center: Upcoming Events

Companions Along the Way (Virtual) Begins Nov. 6

In what ways do our prayer and our lived experiences intersect?  How do we become more aware of the Holy Spirit moving and guiding us?  Together in prayer and faith we will share the stories of our everyday lives. Sifting through the stories and circumstances of our life/world enables us to see everything through the eyes of faith.   We all benefit, and blessings come to light when we have companions along the way. Come and join us!
