Ananias TrainingAnanias Training is a program designed by the Catherine of Siena Institute to equip ordinary Catholics for spiritual accompaniment. Based on insights from Sherry Weddell's book Forming Intentional Disciples, Ananias Training will help you to
* recognize the stages of another's spiritual journey through compassionate listening
* listen lovingly to their questions in order to guide them to discover God's real presence in their life
* and - most important - share your love for Jesus!
Saint Pius X offered an in-person Ananias Training session in July 2024. We hope to offer Ananias Training again in the future, so please let us know if you would be interested in attending!
In the meantime, our parish has purchased subscription access to the Ananias Training materials, which parishioners may utilize for free. For access to the videos, please contact Ashley Logsdon.
