Spiritual Direction at St. Pius

Do you desire to explore your spirituality and deepen your relationship with God? Are you searching, transitioning, or grieving and would benefit from a spiritual companion? Do you want to know how the desires of your heart can reveal God's will for you? The spiritual journey can be a lonely path, especially in difficult or trying times. Through deep listening, conversation, and reflection, a spiritual director can help you notice how God is present and active in your life- awakening new possibilities, connections, and deeper meaning. Spiritual direction can be a source of healing as you experience a deeper sense of God’s unconditional love and care.
