Welcome to Side by Side!

Dear Friends!

In this five-session series, we will explore the rich connection between the Twelve Steps and Ignatian spirituality, with the invitation to discover practical tools for ministry, spiritual direction, pastoral care, and personal spiritual growth.

Through presentation, prayer, reflections, and conversation, we will learn how the wisdom of the Twelve Steps can illuminate the journey of discipleship and provide meaningful support for those navigating mental health crisis, addiction, grief, suffering, family challenges, and life’s many transitions.
