We've created a safe space to talk about spirituality and topics relevant to you as a young adult. Ask questions, express spiritual concerns, and make connections with others. You do not have to be Catholic, and we invite spiritual neighbors from cultures around the world. Receive email updates about events, programs and volunteer opportunities for young adults.

Several of our Sisters at St. Francis Woods are trained Spiritual Directors. It is an hour-long session, usually scheduled monthly and offered either in-person or over Zoom. You are invited to share ordinary life experience and be guided to listen for how the Divine is speaking through the twists and turns of your faith journey. The fee is $55.00 per session or $40.00 per session for anyone on retreat at The Portiuncula Center for Prayer on campus.
