spiritual direction Ministry
What is Spiritual Direction:
Spiritual direction is an ancient ministry of the church. It is a relationship in which a trained director assists another in attending to God’s call. Spiritual direction is a ministry of three: the Holy Spirit who leads both the directee and the director as they come together to pray and discern God’s will.
The goal of Spiritual Direction is to help the individual name and claim their personal experience of God. Through an artful technique of examination, the director assists the seeker to accurately perceive God’s presence in their lives, respond in authenticity and celebrate the transformations that occur.
Spiritual directors are welcoming and present with those they companion, listening and responding without being judgmental. We have seven experienced Spiritual Directors at St. Therese.

email scamSeveral ministry leaders have received emails from someone posing as Fr. Mark Lawlor and asking for a favor. This is a Scam! Scams have been sent from people posing as Fr. Mark Lawlor. Please be aware that scam texts are also being sent.An important message from Fr. Mark: "I have never asked anyone for any financial favor via email or text for any specific charity, with regard to gift cards of any sort. If anyone ever has any doubts, please call me first."
At this time, we believe emails are only being sent to Staff and Ministry Leaders due to their contact information being on our website, but we wanted to alert all our parishioners of this scam.To verify the legitimacy of a request from any of our parish clergy, you may call the Parish Office at 704-664-3992.
Thank you! Stay safe and be well!
