Spirituality

Spirituality is how we interact, engage and deepen our relationship with the transcendent - with God as He has revealed himself in Jesus Christ.

The word spirituality is used widely and can mean different things to different people. Spirituality is, in may ways, how we interact and engage with the transcendent. In terms of our Catholic spirituality this is God as He has revealed himself in Jesus Christ.

Spirituality is also something that, at its root, is grounded in our Catholic tradition. How we live our lives, how we worship and give thanks – how we pray.

A spiritual path is one that leads to transformation – a deepening of our relationship with the Risen Lord.
