Sanctum: Spiritual Direction Formation and Training
"Spirituality is like a bird;
if you hold it too tightly, it chokes; if you hold it too loosely it flies away.
Fundamental to spirituality is the absence of force." - Rabbi Hugo Gryn

In January 2027, the Diocese is launching 'Sanctum', a 1-year formation and learning pathway for those exploring a call to the ministry of spiritual direction. The course is ecumenical, welcoming both lay and ordained Christians—pastoral assistants, youth ministers, chaplains and parish leaders; along with those who notice that people naturally turn to them for attentive listening and spiritual support.
