Other Events and Programs
Interested in Becoming a Spiritual Director?
An innovative new program that prepares students for the ministry of spiritual direction is now offered by Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary in collaboration with Saint Benedict's Monastery. This graduate certificate requires two years of part-time study and includes an internship under the guidance of trained supervisors at the Spirituality Center of the monastery.

Healthy Staffs, Healthy Parishes
The current healthy congregations movement has deep roots in family systems theory. This powerful framework for understanding interpersonal relationships has helped countless parishes transform themselves. At the heart of the process is leadership by staff in modeling and encouraging fresh ways of working together, managing conflict, and cultivating relationships that bring the best out of people. Using a daylong workshop as a basis, we are able to tailor a process for one staff or several staffs that explores how to achieve and sustain healthy staff relations for the sake of mission. Three half-day sessions scheduled over three months build on the initial workshop and the on-going reflection of participants.
