Retreat Director
Sr. Patricia Galli, R.S.M.
"Spiritual Direction is a privilege. It is the place where a person can come and share their prayer and relationship with God. It is a place of freedom and trust. The Director listens for the movement of the Holy Spirit in a person's life and is never disappointed. God is never outdone in generosity. God does not make hard terms on those who seek God. So the person sharing their story of God with the Director brings richness and depth to the relationship of Spiritual Direction. My experience in Ignatian Spirituality and in the 12 Steps of Recovery have made me a good listener and open responder to the mystery of God."
