Our Mission
The Institute for Liturgical and Spiritual Formation is committed to fostering the spiritual journey of individuals and communities of all faiths and spiritual paths of good will, mercy and justice.
Our Values
We strive to live by the following core values:
- All of life is an invitation to a sacred encounter with God who is love
- The Spirit of God is present and active in all people and all of creation
- Each of us has a unique call and unique gifts to express the presence and action of God in the world
- The revelation and wisdom of God can be experienced in religious traditions, ritual, spiritual community, and all circumstances of life
Our Vision
The Institute provides opportunities of spiritual nourishment, for people across spiritual paths and traditions. It is our hope to be a catalyst in the process of people becoming their fullest selves – in body, mind and spirit – so that they might recognize God’s dream for their lives and ultimately for the world.
None of this happens in isolation – the dream is born in community – with and through the journey of life, with one another, as we seek to hear with new ears, see with new eyes, love with healed hearts – as pure gift from the One who has created us. Consider being a part of the unfolding story!
