New Spiritual Direction Training at San Pedro
San Pedro has partnered with Mayslake Ministries to provide an intensive ten-month program for men and women to equip them with the spiritual formation and necessary skills to answer God’s call to the ministry of Spiritual Direction, while earning a professional certificate in Spiritual Direction.
The program is staffed by a team of practicing Mayslake Ministries Spiritual Directors and affiliates who for decades, have accompanied spiritual seekers on their journey to grow closer to God. Our facilitators are skilled in Theology, Philosophy, Sacred Scripture and other disciplines, as well as a wide array of spiritual traditions including: Ignatian, Franciscan, and Benedictine spirituality.
What is Spiritual Direction? Spiritual direction is an excellent pathway to help people renew their faith. With the help of the Holy Spirit, the director prayerfully listens as a person shares the joys and struggles of his or her faith life. Through shared dialogue, the director and directee discuss the action of God’s spirit working in their life. In the process of spiritual direction, individuals can heal, build and strengthen their relationship with Jesus, and this can be life changing. To learn more about spiritual direction training, go to https://www.sanpedrocenter.org/sacred-presence.

Queen of Angels Cemetery Phase 2 Now Open
For a Catholic, burial in a Catholic cemetery is a final act of faith, to one’s belief in the resurrection of the body and everlasting life. The Catholic cemetery is a sacred place set aside by the Church for the burial of the faithful. The bodies of those buried there rest under the watchful eye of the local Bishop until the last day. The Catholic cemetery is an extension of the parish community where those who have worshipped together in life now rest together in peace, awaiting Christ’s return in glory. Though the character and charism of a Catholic cemetery is different from that of commercial and municipal cemeteries, Catholics buried in non-Catholic cemeteries lie in ground, crypt or niche that was made sacred during the Rite of Committal.
