Spiritual Directors in the Diocese of Des Moines

Spiritual direction is “help given by one Christian to another which enables that person to pay attention to God’s personal communication to him or her, to respond to this personally communicating God, to grow in intimacy with this God, and to live out the consequences of the relationship.” (William A. Barry and William J. Connolly, The Practice of Spiritual Direction)

Faith Journey Catechetical Institute

The Catechetical Institute is an ongoing formation resource for Catholic adults of the Diocese of Des Moines who wish to deepen their knowledge of the Catholic faith and further their spiritual formation.

Creed:  The Story in Miniature
Sacraments:  The Blessing Revealed and Communicated
The Moral Life:  Fulfillment in Beatitude
Prayer:  The Blessing Given and Received
