Using St. Francis' words we are then able to, 'preach the Gospel always and use words when necessary.' The School of the Spirit is designed to provide a flexible, organic structure for each participant to deepen their own spiritual journey. - The focus of this structure is not on the latest fad about how to stay fit, new psychological coping skills or even theology but on centuries-old practices that will renew our encounter with Christ, grounded in the vitality of a committed community to hold each participant’s journey.” Applications requested by February 1, 2016.
