“My dream for the Archdiocese is to be able to awaken in the hearts of many a yearning for holiness. If we are able to succeed in this area, we will need an army of spiritual mentors who will be trained to help guide and assist others in developing a rich life of prayer..”
- Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann
Become a Spiritual Mentor
Holy Family School of Faith Institute offers a two-year course of study combining distance learning courses with in-person sessions offered at Savior Pastoral Center in Kansas City, Kansas. The program aims to form Spiritual Mentors to serve as guide and companion to others on their journey to holiness. It is designed for Catholics who have a desire to develop a deep prayer and sacramental life, to increase their knowledge of the Catholic faith, to grow in the virtues and a desire to help others do the same.
Intensive sessions are located at Savior Pastoral Center Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
