Principles and practices for deepening Christian life and professional Church service as derived from the Catholic spiritual tradition, as taught by a few outstanding spiritual masters and as lived in contemporary pastoral settings. Main themes: prayer, conversion, holiness, love, and virtues.

In person classes meet 6/1, 6/8, 6/15, 6/29, and 7/13. Online classes meet 6/22 and 7/6.
