CATHOLIC HERITAGE
SPIRITUALITY
Nurturing the spiritual life
by sharing the riches of our Catholic heritage
what we do
We use the intellectual, theological and spiritual heritage of the Catholic faith
to help all who long for a deeper spiritual life.
The Wisdom of the Doctors
To learn wisdom, let us go to the teachers of wisdom. These are saints whose ability to articulate the faith is esteemed. They have been named such for expressing so well the Catholic faith.
The Communion of Saints
Changed by the Gospel, these people have radiated God’s beauty and help light our own path. With their company, we can find fellowship, inspiration and guidance.
The Teachings of Our Tradition
Beliefs and practice are inextricably connected. We help unpack the doctrine and practices of our faith so that we may be drawn more into the life of Christ and the Church.
