Hello! Julie- WELCOME – I am ALWAYS up for a walk-break!!!
I was born and raised Catholic and have been an active participant in my faith for most of my life. I began living my Cursillo in 2016 and have developed a beautiful set of friends that group regularly and provide spiritual guidance to one another. I am a catechist and am active in several church book and Bible studies and am always seeking to deepen my faith. I was introduced to the Avila Institute and Heart of Christ by my pastor/ spiritual director after I told him that I was feeling called to become a spiritual director. I’m hoping that through this journey, I can better focus on my mental prayer and to just know and love God more fully. I work in local government and have been blessed to work at the same place for the past 25+ years. In December, I received my Masters in Public Administration at the same time that my son received a double Bachelors in Finance and Accounting. St. Francis de Sales has been my go-to saint for the past few months. I’m currently reading his Introduction to the Devout Life through a book study and recently attended a retreat focused on his life. I’m very much looking forward to this coming retreat and can’t wait to meet everyone!
