Showing the Way to God

The Spiritual Exercises and discernment help us get in touch with our deepest self, the space where God speaks to us. Discernment is not only necessary when serious problems have to be solved, it is an instrument of struggle to follow the Lord better day by day and hour by hour. In the 2023-2024 ministry year, our parish successfully offered a variety of opportunities to help people find God, grow closer to Him, and to live His way.
