Spiritual Direction
The Missionary Institute of St Patrick offers spiritual direction as a guiding and supportive relationship, helping individuals grow in their faith, understand God’s presence, and navigate their spiritual journey. Rooted in love and wisdom, this service provides a space for discernment, free from control or domination.
Our trained spiritual directors, firmly established in God, offer guidance through spiritual means, helping seekers recognise God’s voice and purpose in their lives. Through accredited training and ongoing renewal, we ensure that our spiritual mentors are equipped to walk alongside those seeking deeper connection and growth in their faith.
